How to use it

  1. Choose a topic, then pick a question that suits the people with you. You do not have to finish all six.
  2. Let each person answer, listen or pass. A short answer counts; nobody needs to tell a story they would rather keep private.
  3. Try a follow-up such as ‘What happened next?’ before moving to another card. Choose another set whenever you want a different starting point.
  4. Print your selected cards or download the ready-to-use PDF. Ask before recording or sharing anything from the conversation.

Keep the connection going

Keep one story after the conversation, if everyone involved is happy to share it. In Kinello, add a written memory in Story, choose its audience and invite a relative to add their perspective. The cards are a free standalone tool; they do not record your conversation or send anything to the app.

Printing and privacy

The blank downloads fit A4 or US Letter. Use “Print / save as PDF” to keep your online version; your browser provides the printer or PDF destination. Check the preview before printing. Typed entries are not saved between visits or sent to Kinello.

You are welcome to print and share these sheets for personal family use. Keep an extra copy of anything important, and ask before sharing another person’s photo or story.
