Experts at Goodfella’s have taken 1,000 children aged 6 – 16 kids’ suggestions and recommendations about what they like to talk about at mealtimes to create a fun guide for parents, including 10 conversation starters that are guaranteed (more or less) to get kids talking at the dinner table.

The research show that there are 31% of parents don’t know what to talk to their kids about and 58% of mums and dads admit that their kids are bored of their tired chat.  My husband and I must admit that we always ask the most common but ‘boring’ question: “How was your day at school?”.

Last week, we spent some family time eating delicious Goodfella’s pepperoni pizza.  These are the five question most interesting questions to ask children aged 6 to 12 year old.

1. I heard you playing Justin Bieber’s new song earlier – are you and your friends all Beiliebers?
2. We can’t wait to watch the new LEGO film…
3. We heard that Match Attax cards are really cool – what are they all about..?
4. What’s your favourite video game at the moment, we heard Skylanders is really good…
5. If you could be any footballer, which one would you be?
