Get set up
Gather the required materials: Prepared family-event cards or copies of photos. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Prepare cards for events that are appropriate to share.
- Mix the cards and give a set to each team or the whole group.
- Players discuss and place events in order.
- Reveal the correct sequence.
- Invite optional stories about one or two events.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use decade-only ordering, photo timelines or separate branch-of-family rounds.
Make it a great round
Use agreed family information and avoid sensitive events.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
