Here we are, another week dealing with COVID-19. While staying home and practicing social distancing, families have a golden opportunity to talk with one another. Here are some conversation starter ideas to last a week. Make sure each person has a chance to answer.
Number these topics 1-7 and ask one of the children to pick a number. The parent/caregiver then answers the question.
