Title: Starting Chat at the Table Ideas Thread
Post by: Tal on January 02, 2016, 07:24:20 PM
A place for your ideas of how to get a table of people at a live table off their ipads and mp3 players and engaging with the people around them.

Today, I opened a conversation by asking how someone trains to become a lion tamer: do you work with progressively larger cats or progressively smaller chairs?

I have previously gone round the table and asked everyone to guess what the most miserable or largest headphone-clad person is listening to. Then everyone stares at that person to find out.

Lots of people use 'phones at the table - we are here for hours after all - but it's boring if people don't engage.

Any other suggestions? Here's the place to put them. This could become a useful resource in times of need.

Has to be done, especially at the Nugget.

Nothing better than leading the old boys astray, when it's not even teatime ;D

I usually play live on Saturdays so open with asking if anyone has any footy bets on today. Always gets some table chat going   :)
