Hopefully they will practice their english. Sending this pack of converstion cards to my 3 grandchildren 8,12 & 14 living in France.
But for the price it's fair enough. I just wish there were more cards. It's great to start converstation with that child that only answer yes or no. Warms up a playdate, brings family fun on a rainy day - instead of TV.
My main issue with these cards, however, is that many of the "facts" listed on the cards are completely incorrect. One could take this in an entirely different educational direction than it was intended, but a research project wasn't what I was looking for. I bought these to use with my kids, but found that they didn't find the ideas at all interesting. Don't beleive everything you read, and particularly with this card deck- find out if the "fact" it lists is truly a "fact". Personal interest varies, of course. It seems to me that we have more interesting conversations than the ones suggested in the deck on a regular basis.
They both really enjoyed them, as did the adults. I bought these for my godsons (4 & 9).
Great buy. We were looking for a way to increase our family communication during dinner and to allow each child in the family to have equal "floor time" for their comments. The cards contain great topics, are creative, and enhance spontaneous discussion.
