Questions to ask Grandma about travel and adventures
Good questions about travel and adventures are specific and easy to picture, and they ask for a story rather than a fact. Start with: What's the farthest you've ever traveled? What's the bravest thing you've ever done? Did you ever get lost? 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.
