It’s so easy for everyone to go their separate ways, grab a bite to each as they pass to go out the door for their various activities. I grew up in a family of 8 kids, and as we got older, it got harder and harder to get everyone home at the same time for dinner. Does that happen in any of your homes?
We all decided to try our hardest to make dinner as a family a priority, and not only that, but to truly communicate with each other.
That’s why I was thrilled when Chickabug designed these exclusive Family Dinner Printables for our HDS readers. 🙂
Sometimes it’s a little difficult to get the conversation started, these questions are the perfect starting point.
All you have to do is download, print, and cut.
There is even a cute label you can print out for the front of a jar.
They fit perfectly on a quart size jar. I found one that has a smooth surface for crafting at Hobby Lobby.
I enlisted my daughter’s help to fold all the questions and put them in the jar. 🙂
There are dozens and dozens of questions, and even fun trivia!
There is nothing more important than family, but do we always spend actual quality time talking with each one of them?
Here are some examples of the questions:
“Tell me the five best things about you.”
“Do you dance crazy when no one is looking?”
“If you could have picked your own name, what would it be?”
“What do you think of my driving?”
“What is your very earliest memory as a very little kid?”
Some of the questions are serious, some are silly, some make you think. But most importantly they will get you talking.
These family dinner questions would be such a fun tradition to start with your family! You may be surprised what kind of conversations these questions may spark, and the things you may learn about each other.

How do I download this?
SM says
Love the idea just wish there were actual true facts. We’ve had several questions that we questioned so with a quick, 2 second, Google were able to find the correct answer. I don’t know where you got the questions from, but you might want to do some fact checking. The most recent one was – how long do dragon flies live. That answer was incorrect. Just thought you should be aware.
Ashley g says

Lynne says
I joined over seven hours ago and while I received a “welcome” email, I did not receive any kind of link or password or anything in order for me to download this. This is the only reason I signed up and while I’ve scoured the site and discovered a billion other great things, THIS is what I truly want and need- what brought me to this site. I see a lot of comments from way back when that people had issues downloading this too. It’s been a few years so I hope you’ve resolved any issues however I would appreciate a direct response with either a PDF link or clear, proper instructions on downloading this set. If you tell me I need to resign up or wait for an email with the code etc I will scream so loud you wont need a phone to hear me. This is something that should be/could be so simple and you have to complicate it. 4/12/17 1:10 am, signed up at 4:30 pm on 4/11/17
Katie says
I’m so sorry for the troubles! Will you check your email, I just sent more info. Thanks! 🙂
Diana says
Okay so maybe I am too late but these questions were the reason I signed up and I am happy to be here there is a lot of wonderful information. I am taking my grands on a car trip this weekend and would have loved to have these questions to keep us busy for the few hours……I thought it would be fun. I have not seen a way to download anything, just a message to buy a package. I even ended up signing up twice because it just takes me in circles..so I am not sure …….. I work 14 hour days and this is my one day to get things together…..I shouldn’t procrastinate for sure but I was so hoping……guess it would be faster to do my own LOL thank you and God bless.
J says
Hi, a friend had these at her place when we were over for dinner and thought they were great. I’ve signed up for emails but still haven’t received a link for downloads. Can someone help as I’d really like to have these at home for family dinners.
Sarom says
Hi! Do you mind emailing me the download for the family dinner questions? Thanks so much! I’m loving this website!
