Hear What They Heard
Hearing ancestors’ voices helps us bond with them in a special way. When you hear a story from their point of view, you can better connect with them.
Possible Activities
Ask a parent or grandparent to tell stories about his or her life or about a family member. You could ask questions like these:
-
What is a memorable moment from your childhood?
-
What do you remember about where you grew up?
-
How did you meet your spouse?
-
What are some moments that impacted your life the most?
-
What is one funny story from your life?
