#GoodforMEdia’s Conversation Cards
These cards were developed by our youth leaders to help you explore your relationship with social media and tech.
Created to spark meaningful and open dialogue, #GoodforMEdia's conversation card deck is flexible and easy to use in many ways, including:
A fun game played between friends
A reflective activity between youth and parents/teachers
An icebreaker for workshops, clubs, activities
On a roadtrip or around the dinner table!

The questions have been divided into mild, medium and spicy categories and are suitable for pre-teen social media users and up. Here are 6 of the 48 questions in our deck to get you started!
Mild cards: These questions are designed to be relatively easy to answer and promote introductions or lighthearted conversation starters.
Medium cards: These questions require more thought and can lead to discussions about personal experiences or preferences.
Spicy cards: These questions are designed to prompt deeper reflection and conversations.
What others are saying about the conversation cards:
"The conversation cards were such an effective catalyst to an honest, constructive discussion that could go on forever. We entered the conversation as strangers, but we finished as friends bonded by similar yet nuanced perspectives regarding our experiences on social media."
Audrey, College Student
"We started using the conversation cards during a family vacation and loved them! They sparked interesting and open discussions on a topic that can be challenging to address. Instead of just focusing on the dangers of social media, we got to know each other better by exploring how we engage with it, and in the process we learned more about what works for us, and what doesn't and had fun doing it. I highly recommend these cards for a fun way to discuss social media as a family!"
Christy, Parent
"The convo cards are a great starter to dive into a meaningful conversation around social media and technology. The variety of ranges between light and deeper tones makes a great room, setting the tone for building a collective space. We absolutely love using them in our youth leadership meetings."
