One Minute Stories Last a Lifetime

Family stories have been known to change lives. They are not just told to entertain each other.  By becoming familiar with some of the problems our ancestors overcame and passing them on to our children, they have the power to give them strength and courage when they have trying times.

  • What captivated you about the story?
  • Try to identify and build upon a lesson that was learned by the experiences explained in the story.
  • Find a picture that represents what was learned. This is helpful for retaining that memory.
  • See if you can show how the family progressed from problems to solutions.

Finally, work to tell that story in one minute.  If so, it will be a hit for generations to come.
