The Family Band

For a great conversation starter around the dinner table, on a road trip, or on a picnic, ask the question: “If we had a family band, what would our name be?” Try to come up with a name other than simply using your last name.

This subject can be a low-key way to get your family to laugh, share feelings and recall fun times together. Once your name is decided, display the name in a frame or on the fridge to promote unity in your home.

Here are some discussion topics to get your started.

• Family inside jokes
• Traditions
• Common interests
• Memories
• Values
• Favorites (color, food, activities)
• Family Traits and Talents
• Nicknames
