Fun Conversation Ideas for your Students and Children

Let’s face it. We’re all getting a little restless with these lockdowns. We miss the direct, face-to-face contact with our family, friends, and teachers. And, depending on the state in which we live, it can feel like we’re attached to a ball and chain. When we’re lonely or bored, it easily puts a strain on our relationships—especially when our world is scary.  
 
In light of this, we created a list of fun conversation topics to share with the children in your life. Whether in your classrooms or homes, we hope they add some much-needed levity and enjoyment during these challenging times. Here goes:
