Make Memories and Record Family History This Holiday Season

1. **Make it a Game**: Go around the room and have everyone answer questions such as:

   – “What was your first vehicle?”

   – “What was your first job, and how much did you make an hour?”

   – “What’s your favorite movie?”

   – “What’s your favorite song?”

  We recommend recording these responses for later reference by the family historian. A simple app you can use is called “Voice Recorder,” and it is available in most app stores.

2. **Make it a Talk Show**: Gather your oldest family members, preferably in front of a video camera, and have them:

   – Share stories about Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions from the past.

   – Recall family traditions.

   – Reminisce about memories of family members who have passed on.
