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.

Sample questions

  1. What's a trip you remember clearly? What comes to mind first?
  2. Describe a street you knew by heart. What was on the corner?
  3. What place felt like home besides the house where you slept?
  4. What's a trip that went wrong and turned into a story?
  5. What's a place you saw once and could still draw from memory?
  6. Where did you go when you wanted an hour to yourself?
  7. What's a view you can still see when you close your eyes?
  8. On a trip you remember, who went with you, or were you on your own?
  9. What did you eat away from your usual table, and where?
  10. What's a building you walked into often? What did you do there?
  11. What made the place you live now start to feel like yours?
  12. What place should someone you love visit, and what should that person look for?
