One of the most compelling table games we've played is "question in a hat". You can only put questions into the hat that you really want to know the answer to. Here's a starter list of the 101 questions to ask your family- some questions we've throw in in the past- we guarantee you'll be surprised by the answers!
The rules: Listen to everyone with open curiosity, and express your own answer truthfully! Time limits may be needed, your call! You can either play by taking a single question and going around the table allowing everyone to answer, or having everyone pull a new question as they take their turn.
