How do they work?


The conversation starters series uses two stages for teaching conversation. Stage one teaches kids to spontaneously answer questions. Stage two teaches kids to inquire about other people and to initiate conversations. Each set includes six different topics with a yellow card signifying the start of each new topic. Known as a "Speech Teacher's Dream," they're so convenient you can carry them in your pocket or clip them to your key ring and use them throughout the day. The front of each card poses a fun and interesting question about the topic. Flip it over and the beginning of the answer is on the back, encouraging kids to fill in the blanks.
