Start deep conversations and avoid awkward silences with these get-to-know-you cards.
“If you could have any superpower, what would it be?”
Traditional icebreakers and small talk can often feel clunky, awkward and, let’s face it, a little bit pointless. At the same time, a little conversation grease goes a long way to help dinner parties and other social situations run smoothly.
So, if you’re the kind of person who finds themselves thinking about the next thing they should say or floundering for a topic to bring up, you’re in luck. Alongside the current trend of self-awareness comes plenty of handy conversation card packs that you can whip out during any lulls in chat to find out more about your friends, family, partner and even colleagues.
Whether you want to get to know someone new beyond the surface or dig deeper into each other’s hopes and dreams, here are seven of the best conversation cards that mean you’ll never get stuck on what to say next.
