“Gratitude Gab” – This game is guaranteed to get your guests talking! For the guests that have more to say than just, “I am grateful for food”, this is the perfect game!
Grab a jar or bowl and place a few questions or topics on folded pieces of colored paper. As the meal progresses, have everyone pass around the jar and take turns pulling out a piece of paper and answer the question or sharing the experience the paper asks. Instead of just saying one thing they are grateful for and moving on, these questions will provide conversations and stories that will enrich the lives of those present, deepen feelings of gratitude and nourish the heart while you feed your body!
Here’s a few sample questions below, feel free to use these or come up with your own.
Describe something lucky that happened to you last year and how your life improved.
