Using these printable activities, students will interview an older member of their family about how their life was in the past. There are 5 different activity sheets available, so you can choose the one that best suits your students and the learning objectives:

1. The first sheet ‘Meet My Family’ is intended as a ‘fill in the gap’ style interview for students to  find out more about an older family members life in the past.
2. The second sheet is designed for older students to think of their own questions to ask an older family member (it can be used alongside the 5W questioning posters)
3. Similar to activity 2, but allows space for students to actually ask their relative the question and write their response.
4. A more traditional style interview for grandparents/vips.
5. Activity to identify similarities and differences from their lives to those of their older relatives.

  There is also a set of 5W questioning posters that can be used to enhance the learning occurring (when, where, what, who, why).
