Game 104

The work they came home from

Hands at work

The game's question

Your mum or dad tells it first; then you add the family stories you have heard about it.

Growing up, you watched the grown-ups at home work, day after day. A jacket hung behind the door, hands that showed the effort, a smell of the workshop or the kitchen that came home with them. What work did they do – your father, your mother or whoever kept the house going?

Their work, as you saw it

Need a hint?

Ask whether they liked it, and which tools or work clothes stayed at home – a cap, an apron, a toolbox.

Why this game : The work of one family tells the story of a whole era, seen first-hand from the kitchen table.
