The Year You Were Born Interview Pack

An interview pack for the year someone was born: their memories, in their words. The year at a glance, 15 interview prompts with writing space, a facts-and-memories page, then and now, a timeline and a letter from that year.

Pages: 11 (A4) / 11 (US Letter). Formats: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. The pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; the cover is the only full-colour page, so start from page 2 to save ink. Cut along dashed lines where shown.

The pack holds no historical facts of its own: memories are written in the storyteller’s words, and there is a page to note facts you look up yourselves (Birthdays.im lists sourced facts about the year you were born).

Every prompt, card and layout is REALLYBYTE’s own original work, written for Grandparent Project. The illustrations are our own drawings; there are no photographs of real people. It gives ideas for shared time and keepsakes; it is not advice about health, care, safety or education, and it does not assess anyone’s ability. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any organisation, game publisher or website mentioned.

Licence: personal use. Print as many copies as you need for yourself and your household. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For club, school, care-home or commercial use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
