FREE–Record Your Elder Interview Guide KS1

Some of the best history stories are waiting to be heard from someone you know.

Where did they grow up? What food did they enjoy? Which memories would they like to share? This free interview guide helps children aged 5–7 listen to an elder's stories and discover that history lives in the people around us.

Created to complement learning about Caribbean migration and the Windrush generation, the guide welcomes every child, whatever their background. An elder can be a grandparent, neighbour, family friend, trusted relative or member of a faith community.
