20 appreciation prompts for couples

Saying thank you is easy to forget when life gets busy. Appreciation Ping-Pong turns it into a game: one minute, ten seconds each, as many kind words as you can fit.

How to play

  1. Set a timer for one minute and pick a prompt.
  2. Take turns, ten seconds each, saying one genuine or funny thing about each other.
  3. Keep going until the timer runs out, then pick your favorite line from the round.
