The Heritage Table
Someday, you’ll wish you had asked.
The same cards as the printable, on your phone. Swipe or tap for the next question, hand the phone to the person it fits best, and listen. Anyone can pass.
How to play. Read your card out loud and answer it, or hand the phone to the person it fits best. Then listen. Make it last: before the night ends, record one favorite answer on your phone, or write down one story.
How to play. Everyone takes a prompt and writes an answer on a slip of paper, no names. Be specific: “family and health” is true but impossible to guess. Fold the slips into a bowl, read each one out, and guess who wrote it. The writer gets 30 seconds to tell the story behind it.
How to play. Before dessert, everyone answers one or more prompts on paper. Seal them all in one envelope, write the date on the front, and put it away with the holiday dishes. Open it at next year’s table. Kids love the predictions.
