What questions or ideas make interesting conversation starters for a party or event? What's interesting varies from person to person. But here are some tricks that make for interesting conversation for most:

• Be funny. Funny scenarios are silly, crazy or unique. What would you do if you were someone else, had different circumstances, had a new appendage, like a tail, or a third arm. What would you do with it? What type of arm or tail would it be?
• Ask difficult questions. "What was your worst date?" "If you had to eat insects, how could they be rendered tasty?"
• Talk about the guest of honor. At an engagement party or birthday party, honor the prime guest(s) with talking about interesting things they've done.

Good Conversation Tactics For a Party

We all know what not to talk about at a party: politics, religion, and health problems are usually best avoided. But what are some good conversation topics? And, how do you break the ice?

There's actually a little formula for good conversation topics that works like a charm.

If you're going to a party where you'll know few people, it's a good idea to be prepared with a few ice breaker questions or interesting conversation starters.

Keep your ice breakers generic at first. Make a comment about the party (i.e. the decorations, the food, etc.) followed by a quesiton. Here's an example of how it works:

"Tom sure throws a fun party. How do know Tom?" Or for a fundraiser or company party, "How are you connected with the group?"

The best way to strike up a conversation is to listen, and follow with another question. A good listener is the mark of someone who masters the art of conversation.

Using our example the guest might answer, "Tom and I went to college together." You reply with another question, "Oh, where did you go to college?" If you know nothing about the college, no problem. Make another comment, followed by a question until the conversation develops.

For example: "Oh, you went to school in Texas. I've never been to Texas, are you from there?"

Almost anything can be a good conversation topic if you remember the old adage, "An interested person is an interesting person."
