Back to School Tip: Fun and Learning at Mealtimes

Thank you Mardi Gras Napkins for sponsoring this post. Visit your local retailer to get the conversation going in your home!

In the month before school starts, you might be looking for ways to gently ease your children back into learning mode. One easy and natural way to do this is with stimulating conversations. A simple question and answer format works well.
What if I told told you there was a really fun way to do this, right at the family dinner table?
Mardi Gras Napkins conversation starters are just the ticket!

When the family is gathered around the table, it’s an ideal time to chat and get to know more about each other. But there’s a lot more to talk about than the usual “How was your day?”

With Mardi Gras napkins, you don’t have to come up with imaginative ideas to get a good discussion going; they are already printed on the napkins for you, along with appealing graphics.

Questions like “What are you thankful for today?” or “Ding, ding, ding, you just won a million dollars! What would you do with it?” will get everyone involved in the fun, no matter what their age. Susanna enjoyed reading the questions to her younger brother, Erik.

Some of the questions are funny and really got us laughing! Our children also like swapping napkins when the meal first begins, if they get a question they’ve already answered. You can fold up the napkins next to each plate when you set the table so the question is a surprise.

Tuck some conversation starters from Mardi Gras into your child’s school lunch box. Eating at the cafeteria doesn’t have to be mundane! Or give them to your guests at a summer picnic or party. Mardi Gras napkins give you convenience at a great price, plus a little bit of extra enjoyment in life!

Can YOU think of some other ways to use Mardi Gras Napkins conversation starters this coming school year?
