Hello Everyone! Today for Words on Wednesday I wanted to give you some lists of questions you can ask family members about. They can be questions for kids or questions for older folks, really anyone you want to ask about an event in their life. Once you have the information, you can scrap about it. Maybe make it an annual tradition. Grandma’s and Grandpa’s often remember stories that they might have forgotten for different decades of their lives.

Here’s an idea by cherish|BOUND. Start by paying tribute. Honor the oldest member of the family by having each person go around the table and share memories. Start the conversation with questions like, “Tell about a time they made you laugh,” “What is a lesson you have learned from __________,” or “Describe something you think __________ is good at.”

A few other questions came to mind that are for the younger family members. These relate to Christmas/Santa, but you’ll see below the Creative Team went in other directions. Make the questions fit your needs.

  • ? How old do you think Santa is?
  • ? How many elves does Santa have?
  • ? How many reindeer does Santa have in training?
  • ? What is your favorite Christmas color?
  • ? Do you like real trees or fake trees?
  • ? Should Santa wrap the presents he leaves under the tree?
  • ? Do you think twinkling lights are better than solid lights?
  • ? What is your favorite Christmas song?
  • ? Do you like Christmas carols?
  • ? How does Santa fit down a chimney?
  • ? Who is your favorite reindeer after Rudolph

Here are the ideas from the Creative Team.

Erica (stanworth) used Taste of Home, Dandy Alpha and Love My Fans Alpha by Chelle’s Creations.

Erica’s questions: (1) Describe something you are really good at? (2) What are you most thankful for right now? Why? What makes it important to you? (3) What is a lesson you learned this year? (4) Tell me about a time that you really laughed hard?

Jenn Schultz (jennschultz) used We Wish You A Merry Christmas Bundle.

Jenn’s Questions: (1) What is your favorite Christmas memory? (2) If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be and why? (3) What is the first work that comes to mind when you think Christmas? (4) What is the greatest gift you have to offer someone? (5) Who is your role model and why do you admire them? (6) What do you love most about the person sitting next to you?

 

 

 

 

 

Kassie had a list of questions she asked her kids and then scrapped the list next to a large photo. ?’s like favorite TV show, restaurant, food, color, etc.

I was standing in the pharmacy just today and noticed a box about the size of matches. Inside were questions you could ask little girl’s at a sleepover, or questions you can ask on a road trip. Just start asking some questions and before you know it, you’ll have a page ready to scrap.

Hugs!
