About these questions

These are sample questions from different parts of life: childhood, food, love, work, holidays, and places. Your family can write their own. Family questions go first after the current question. The storyteller can skip any question.

  2. Which room in that house do you still picture, and what was in it?
  3. Who was usually around in the evening, and what did you do?
  4. What did you do on a free afternoon when nothing was planned?
  5. What was a task around the house that fell to you?
