Birthday interview for kids

What’s included

• 14 prompts with space to write a name
• A name line
• 1 A4 page, designed to print well in colour or black and white

How to play

1. Print one sheet on the morning of the birthday.
2. Ask the birthday child each question and write their answers exactly as they say them.
3. Add the date and a photo or drawing on the back.
4. Keep it in a folder and do a new one every birthday.

Tips

• Write down the answers word for word: the funny ones are the best to read back.
• Older children can fill it in themselves.
• Ask a grandparent to do the interview over a video call.

Printing tips

• Print at 100% or “Actual size” rather than “Fit to page”, so nothing gets trimmed.
• Everything is A4. If your printer only takes US Letter, choose “Fit to page” instead.
• Thicker paper (120–160gsm) feels nicer to write on and survives a night out; plain 80gsm is fine too.
• Black and white works: the designs are made to stay clear without colour.
