Prompt
Ask someone at home
K–8 · Any subject · Get to know each other
What students see
Ask someone at home about a tradition or a job they have had. Record them, or tell us what you learned. Ask their permission before you share.
Why it works
Families become part of the class when their stories are the content. Students practice asking questions and listening, and classmates learn how different homes can be.
How to run it
- Add it to your Space. The Topic comes with this prompt and these settings, and you can edit both.
- Share the Topic link with your students.
- Approve posts as they come in. Until then only the person who posted and Space admins can see them.
Make it yours
Let students tell the story themselves if a relative would rather not appear on camera. Any trusted adult counts, so no child is left out because of who is at home.
