A shared question game
A Little More About Us
Take turns. Stay curious. Let every answer be a gift rather than a problem to solve.
Before you begin, make five promises.
Anyone can pass. There are no wrong answers. Listen without correcting. Never use an answer against someone later. Meet anything important with calm care.
Who is playing?
Choose language that feels right for your family.
Choose an age
This changes the wording, never the worth of an answer.
How long?
Stop while it still feels good. You can always return.
A grown-up note. This is a connection activity, not a way to investigate, test or assess a child. Do not ask a child to keep unsafe secrets. If a child says they or someone else may be unsafe, stay calm, believe them, do not interrogate, and seek appropriate safeguarding or emergency help.

If a question opened something tender, choose steadiness over urgency. You can say: “Thank you for telling me. I am here, and we can think about what you need together.”
