# Questions to ask Grandma about family traditions

Good questions about family traditions are specific and easy to picture, and they ask for a story rather than a fact. Start with: What was your favorite holiday as a kid? What traditions did your family have? Is there a song your family always sang? Then let Grandma's answers lead to the next question.

## How to ask so the stories keep coming

Ask one question per call, not ten. Follow up with "what happened next?" Write down the answers or record them (with permission): they're the start of a family story bank.
