We are print-testing and family-testing this kit before it goes on sale. The free mini is ready now.

One handwritten compliment at each place. One question that starts a story. One page that holds the details you would otherwise forget.

What is inside

A complete little plan.

  • Twelve conversation cards and eight story prompts
  • Gratitude place cards, a garland and a noticing hunt
  • Four different bingo boards and calling cards
  • Shared-job and oven-planning worksheets
  • A recipe keepsake, family notes and memory page

20 pages per paper format. US Letter and A4 contain the same activities, not twice as many. Write-in PDF files, not editable templates or fillable forms.

Useful free sample. More complete paid kit.

The free mini gives you six conversation cards and a memory page. The paid kit adds the complete gathering plan, games, story prompts, place cards and keepsakes.

A shorter version is included. Printing every page is not the assignment.

Before you print

Made for real-life together time.

Suggested for children about 4–10 with an adult, with older children welcome to help. This is not an unsupervised activity. No child has to perform, finish or win.

What do I need?

Paper, a printer or print service, pencils and an adult with scissors. Optional snacks and existing household objects vary by activity. No special craft machine or paid app is required.

How do the files work?

Choose US Letter or A4 to match your paper. Print single-sided at 100% / Actual Size, and print a test page first. The working pages use white backgrounds and restrained color; grayscale is an option. PDF pages are not editable or fillable.

Can I use this with more than one child?

Personal household use includes your private gathering. Print the quantities you need. Bingo has four unique player boards; use teams for a larger group. Commercial, school-wide and resale use are not included.

Anything else I should know?

This is a connection and activity kit, not a meal plan or a collection of recipes. The oven worksheet is blank: use your own reliable recipes and food-safety guidance.

How do downloads and support work?

This kit is not on sale yet. Download and support details will be here when it is.
