My MOPS leader found this idea on pinterest and we made them at our meeting this week.
(Originally found here.)
My kids were really excited about these and it was fun to hear some of their answers last night!
These are easy and inexpensive to make. We have some sitting on our tables at our meetings to initiate conversation and made these for our dinner tables. I think they would also be fun for a shower with questions about the bride-to-be or even to make a bunch to use as a fun family game night activity.
All you need are large glass stones (found at the Dollar Store)
and conversation questions printed out
...and cut out to fit the size of the glass stones.
Just mod podge the questions onto the back of the stones...
and let them dry for about 24 hours.
My kids were really excited about these and it was fun to hear some of their answers last night!
What was not fun or funny, though was when the pottery bowl that was holding the conversation stones broke. Pretty much because Clare had made that bowl (if that wasn't obvious) and there were lots of tears about "her first piece of pottery breaking" and that "she would never be able to make another bowl that looks like that again."
But that just made for a good answer to: "What are you most looking forward to tomorrow?"
"Making a new pottery bowl."
Linking with these FUN PARTIES.

I love this idea! I think I have all the stuff to make it too!
ReplyDeleteThis is REALLY cool. I can see it really serving it's purpose when you have people over. I would love for you to consider linking this project up to my “Drab to Fab” linky party on Fridays at my blog Sugar and Spice. It’s about refashioning, jazzing up, or changing up normal stuff to make it fabulous! Your post really embodies the purpose of the party! Here’s a link for more info:

Wow! Thanks, Ginger!
DeleteLove this idea!! Thanks for sharing at my party!
ReplyDeleteSweet conversation notes. I like these. This is a good idea...I can make a few and drop them in my hubby's lunch or put under his pillow. He always leaves me encouraging notes on a sticky, now I get to leave him warm messages, too.
ReplyDeleteReally like this! Want to do a little twist on this.

I love this idea! I'm always looking for creative ways to break the ice with teens in group counseling! I was wondering if you're willing to share your list of questions? I'm also always struggling to think of different questions!!
ReplyDelete@ Philly Girl: Here's a link to some ice breaker questions that would work for these:
