As a parent, you probably recognize this scenario: You ask your kid how their day was, and you’re lucky to get a quick “fine” before they ask what’s for dinner. But what if there were a better — and easier — way to get your kid to open up? One that felt natural, without the pressure of sitting down face to face? Enter Drive-a-Logue, a new family conversation game by Bark that’s changing how kids and parents interact.
What Is Drive-A-Logue?
Drive-A-Logue is Bark’s new card game that’s designed to make car rides more than just a trip to the grocery store or school — they can be a chance for genuine bonding experiences. While you’re in the car, your kid will pull a random card from the deck of prompts and you’ll take turns answering questions that go beyond just “yes” or “no” answers. This can help you learn more about your kid and what makes them tick.You even get to answer some, too!
Less Eye Contact = Better Conversation
Ever notice how some of the best conversations with your kid happen when you’re not staring directly at each other across the dinner table? It’s not a coincidence! Studies have shown that kids (and even adults!) often feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings when they’re side by side, like in the car. Without the intensity of direct eye contact, you’re more relaxed and freer to open up, reflect, and talk honestly.
Age Appropriate for Every Stage
Talking to your 17-year-old is a lot different than chatting with your tween, so Drive-A-Logue comes in three age-specific versions:
- Kids 8–11: Lighthearted and imaginative prompts to get younger kids thinking creatively
- Tweens 12–14: Conversation starters that encourage curiosity, values, and self-reflection.
- Teens 15–18: Deeper, more thoughtful questions that invite meaningful dialogue about life, goals, and emotions.
Turn Every Drive into Quality Time
Whether you’re heading to soccer practice or just waiting in the carpool line, Drive-A-Logue turns travel time into a chance to strengthen your relationship. Take turns drawing cards and answering questions like:
- “If you could fix one important issue in the world, what would it be?”
- “What’s the funniest thing that’s happened in your classes this year?”
- “What if you started a video channel? What would it be about?”
These prompts spark creativity, reveal insights, and give you a window into what makes your child tick — all without the awkwardness of face-to-face, forced conversations.
