My nine year-old daughter has written a review of the new Buddy Talk, a new conversation starter toy from www.aroundthetablegames.com. She likes books like
Coke Vs. Pepsi , a book that asks people to make choices between two things to get them to talk about what kind of person they are. What seems like silly, surface level questions to an adult, are intriguing to kids. Whether you drink Pepsi or Coke has obviously no real value to understanding who we really are. We adults are smarter, focusing instead on what vodka we drink, car we drive, or shoes we wear.
Buddy Talk, though, looks at loftier things, like kids’ hopes, fears and dreams.
Around the Table Games has other variations on this theme for families and kids needing new topics to talk from.
Her (very short) review:
Buddy Talk is fun to play by yourself or with your friends. If you take buddy talk to a restaurant it’s great to entertain you or your friends. It’s also great to start a conversation. It has a cool clip so it can hang from your backpack.
