Story Cards — a Sage & Page companion
Thirty questions to ask once the drawing is finished. None of them are about how it looks.
A finished page is easy to praise and hard to talk about. After the fourth "that's lovely" in a week, both of you know it has stopped meaning anything.
These give you something else to ask. Thirty questions, six to a sheet, printed on dashed lines so you can cut them out and keep them in a bag or the glovebox. Pull one at random once the drawing is done and read it out.
The questions are not about art. They are about the thing the child has just invented. What is their name, what is in their pockets, what do they do when nobody is looking, what have they never told anyone. Take whatever answer comes back as given. If the creature is nine hundred years old and lives in a bin, that is the answer.
Five sets of six:
- Who is this?
- Where are they?
- What happens next?
- Silly ones
- Bigger ones
The last page asks you to write one answer on the back of the drawing and date it. In two years the picture will still be worth something to you and the reason behind it will be gone. Four words in the corner usually brings the whole afternoon back.
