The game's question
Let the voices of long ago have their turn: share the scene, then listen.
Many children had a bedtime ritual: someone sitting on the edge of the bed, a story heard a hundred times, a song sung softly. And you drifted off to the sound of that voice. When you were little, who told you stories or sang to you at night? And what did that voice sound like?
A story to tell—every answer is welcome
Need a hint?
Begin with a bedtime song, or a story you begged to hear again and again. Let the pauses last—sometimes only the sound of a voice comes first, and the story follows later.
Why this game : Bedtime rituals are full of tenderness. Talking about them lets a well-loved voice from childhood be heard again, for the two of you.
