    Back of the card

    Before leaving the house, what do you always check?

    Back of the card

Pagkatapos ng dessert

6 tanong

Medyo seryoso, para sa mga naiwan pa sa mesa.

  1. Sino yung alam ang gusto mo, at ano yung madalas nilang natatama para sa'yo?

    Who knows what you like, and what do they usually get right for you?

    Back of the card

    Minsan ganun kasimple yung feeling na kilala ka. May nakakaalala ng usual mo, ayaw mo, o lagi mong pinipili.

    Being known can feel ordinary like that. Someone remembers your usual, your no-thanks, or the thing you always reach for.

  2. Anong small kindness mula sa ibang tao ang napapansin mo agad?

    Which small kindness from other people do you notice right away?

    Back of the card

    Puwedeng may nag-check in, nagtira ng seat, tumulong quietly, o nakaalala ng small detail. Baka yung kindness na napapansin mo ang kind na kinailangan mo dati.

    It could be someone checking in, saving you a seat, helping quietly, or remembering a small detail. The kindness you notice may be the kind you needed before.

  3. Sino yung taong nirerespeto mo sa paraan ng buhay niya, kahit sa maliliit na bagay?

    Who is someone you respect for the way they live, even in small things?

    Back of the card

    Madalas nagsisimula ang respeto sa maliliit pero consistent na bagay. May simpleng habit na maraming sinasabi tungkol sa isang tao.

    Respect often begins with small, steady things. A simple habit can show a lot about how someone moves through life.

  4. Anong small plan ang nilu-look forward mo?

    Which small plan are you looking forward to?

    Back of the card

    Nakakagaan ng week kapag may simpleng nilu-look forward. Puwedeng maging mahalaga kahit maliit na plan lang.

    Looking forward to something simple can help a week feel kinder. Small plans are allowed to matter.

  5. Ano yung isang maliit na wish mo para sa sarili mo this year?

    Name one small wish you have for yourself this year.

    Back of the card

    Maliit man yung wish, honest pa rin. Minsan mas madaling sabihin kasi hindi niya hinihingi na perfect ang buhay.

    Small wishes can still be honest. They may be easier to say out loud because they do not demand a perfect life.

  6. Tapusin mo yung sentence: “Sa next season, sana ma-experience ko...”

    Finish this sentence: “In this next season, I hope I get to experience...”

    Back of the card

    Puwedeng maliit lang o biglang lumawak yung sentence. Either way, may starting point yung hope mo.

    This sentence can stay small or open wide. Either way, it gives your hope a place to begin.

Paano gamitin

Bago ka magtanong

Sa maraming pamilya, paulit-ulit ang tanong sa handaan: kumusta ang school, may trabaho ka na ba, kailan ka mag-aasawa. Walang masama sa pagkumusta, pero mas masaya ang tanong na kayang sagutin ng lahat. Ang mga tanong dito ay tungkol sa pagkain, sa mga gamit na laging nawawala, at sa maliliit na ugali sa bahay. Questions every generation can answer, in Tagalog and English.

Simulan ang magaan habang kumakain pa. Kapag nagtatawanan na ang lahat at may nagtatalo na tungkol sa ulam, saka lumipat sa mga kwento ng bahay. Hayaang si lola o si tito ang unang sumagot paminsan-minsan: iba ang dating ng kuwento nila, at gustong marinig ’yon ng mga bata.

Para sa video call kasama ang kapamilyang nasa abroad, basahin ang tanong nang malakas at hayaang sumagot muna ang nasa malayo. Kung English-first na listahan ang hanap mo, nandito ang questions for family. Every card here has both languages, so lola and the kids can each read their own.

Bagay sa

  • Hapunan at Sunday lunch
  • Handaan, birthday at reunion
  • Noche Buena at Media Noche
  • Byahe pauwi ng probinsya
  • Video call sa pamilyang nasa abroad

Mga tip

  1. Iwasan ang tanong na parang interrogation: grades, sweldo, at “kailan ka mag-aasawa.”
  2. Ipabasa sa mga bata ang cards. Seryoso nilang gagawin ang trabaho.
  3. Itanong ang parehong card sa dalawang henerasyon at pagkumparahin ang sagot.
  4. Ikaw muna ang sumagot para may halimbawa ang iba.
  5. Huminto habang masaya pa. Tatlong magandang kuwento, sapat na.

Mga deck para dito

Tanong para sa pamilya

Mga madalas itanong

Ano ang magandang itanong sa pamilya?

Mga tanong tungkol sa pagkain, bahay at lumang kuwento, kasi may sagot dito ang bawat henerasyon. Good family questions are about food, home and old stories.

Paano magsimula ng kwentuhan sa family dinner?

Magsimula sa magaan na tanong na kayang sagutin sa isang pangungusap, at ikaw muna ang sumagot. Pagkatapos ng ilang ikot, humingi ng kuwento imbes na opinyon.

May Tagalog ba ang mga tanong?

Oo. May Tagalog at English ang bawat tanong dito, kaya kanya-kanyang basa ang bawat isa sa mesa.

Puwede ba itong laruin sa phone?

Oo. Galing ito sa libreng Kumustahan app. Piliin ang Getting to know at Just for fun, i-set sa Keep it light, at ipasa ang phone sa mesa.
