Have you ever found it hard to speak to someone at a party, at school, in a club etc.? If you are anything like the rest of the population in this world, you probably have. Talking to others doesn’t come naturally, it takes effort. These conversation starters will hopefully be able to clear up some of that tension when you first meet someone. 

What’s a Table Topic? You might have heard of a conversation starter, but if “Table Topic” is a new term to you, then don’t worry. I’m here to explain it. A table topic is a topic which you have to speak about without really thinking. I like to think of it as being on a game show, and not knowing what challenge is coming at you. When you get the topic, you have about 30 seconds to think about what you are going to say. That is, if you are lucky. Some people like to just play without even giving any time to think. You have to come up with something on the spot. Ok, enough explaining, let’s get on to the table topics!
