The game's question
Read the scene together, then take turns telling your stories, each at your own pace.
Growing up, you watched the grown-ups at home work, day after day: a jacket on the hook behind the door, hands that showed the work they did. In the evening, the smell of the shop, the farm, the kitchen, or the office came home with them. What work did the grown-ups at your house do, at home or away? And whose work did you like to watch?
A story to tell—every answer is welcome
Need a hint?
Ask whether they liked their work, and what tools or work clothes were kept at home. Could the kids come along sometimes? If the answers are short, don’t push—every answer counts.
Why this game : The work that kept a household going tells the story of a whole era. What you saw firsthand gets passed on here.
