1 M I L E S T O N E S TABLE TALK QUESTIONS THERE ARE TREMENDOUS BENEFITS TO FAMILIES WHO COMMIT TO EATING TOGETHER. // THOUGH IT IS JUST FOOD, BEING PROACTIVE ABOUT YOUR TIME AROUND THE TABLE CAN BRING CONNECTION, CLOSENESS & SPIRITUAL INSIGHT. THESE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE CUT OUT & PLACED IN A JAR OR BOWL ON YOUR DINNER TABLE SO THEY ARE ACCESSIBLE AT MEAL TIMES. DEPENDING ON TIME & INTEREST, ONE CHILD OR EVERY CHILD CAN PICK OUT A QUESTION FOR EVERYONE TO ANSWER! SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ARE SIMPLY TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER & CONNECT. OTHER QUESTIONS HAVE A VERSE OR PASSAGE BY THEM, PROVIDING A SEGWAY TO READ A VERSE OR OPEN YOUR BIBLE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF A QUESTION THAT HAS A PASSAGE WITH IT: IF YOU COULD HAVE THREE WISHES WHAT WOULD THEY BE? ONCE EVERYONE AROUND THE TABLE GIVES THEIR THREE WISHES, YOU CAN TRANSITION. DID YOU KNOW GOD GAVE A WISH TO A MAN IN THE BIBLE?... GOD TOLD SOLOMON, ASK FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU. WHAT DO YOU THINK HIS WISH WAS? THEN YOU CAN READ THE VERSES 1 KINGS 3:5 & YOU COULD EVEN FOLLOW UP ASKING WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD WOULD LIKE US TO WISH OR PRAY FOR?

2 IF YOU COULD SWITCH PLACES WITH SOMEONE FOR ONE DAY, WHO WOULD IT BE? WHY? WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING A DOG OR CAT? WHAT WOULD BE THE WORST THING? WHY? IF YOU COULD LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR ONE YEAR, WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE? WHY? IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO COMPLETE A GOOD DEED, WHERE WOULD YOU GO & WHAT WOULD YOU DO? IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE? IF YOU COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE? WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH BY YOUR NEXT BIRTHDAY? IF YOU COULD CREATE ONE LAW THAT EVERYONE ON EARTH HAD TO FOLLOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE? HAS GOD EVER ANSWERED A PRAYER OF YOURS? WHAT WILL THE WORLD BE LIKE IN 10 YEARS? WHAT WILL BE THE SAME & WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT? IF YOU WERE THE RULER OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? WOULD YOU SET ANY LAWS?

3 WHAT WOULD BE THE HARDEST THING ABOUT BEING BLIND? JOHN 9:1-7 WHO IN YOUR CLASS IS LONELY? HOW COULD YOU HELP THIS WEEK? MATTHEW 25:34-40 IS IT POSSIBLE TO HELP SOMEONE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER MET? IF SO, HOW? 2 SAMUEL 9 IF YOU COULD TELEPORT TO ANOTHER LOCATION WHERE WOULD IT BE? ACTS 8:39-40 SHARE A TIME WHEN YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG & HAD TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS? 1 JOHN 1:9 SHARE ONE KIND WORD ABOUT EACH MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY.

WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING SOMEONE SAID OR DID TODAY? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? WHY? WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ASK ME? WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU DON T UNDERSTAND ABOUT GROWN-UPS? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY? WHY?

WHO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND? WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE IN YOUR LIFE? WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT YOU COULD TEACH TO OTHERS?
