Guided Stories Conversation Cards
Everybody gets the same beginning.
What comes next is completely different.
Each card uses a fill-in-the-blank story starter. Something like:
"A pivotal point in my life was when _____."
Everyone fills in their own answer. Then everybody shares.
That is where things get interesting.
Senior-Friendly
Clear, gentle prompts that spark real talk—large print, easy rules.
Zero Pressure
Use as an activity; add voting only if you want. No competitive pressure.
Works Anywhere
Living room, activities hour, hospice visits—printable and portable.
