Game 46
The Star on Your Bedroom Wall
Pinned Up With Care
A video by Steve Thrasher
The game's question
Read it aloud, ask, and let the memory come at its own pace.
At sixteen, at twenty, everyone had a movie star to dream about. A picture cut out of a movie magazine went up on the bedroom wall. Some copied the hairstyle; others wrote away for a signed photo and waited for the mail. Tell each other: whose picture was on your wall?
Tell each other—every answer is welcome
Need a hint?
Ask about the hairstyle you tried to copy, or the movie you had to see three times. Then ask: “What was so special about that star?”
Why this game : A teenage crush brings back the feelings of those years—and lets a son or daughter see a mother or father as a young person.
