In every question, I and me mean the grown-up this sheet is about. If someone else asks, they say the name instead: What is something Grandpa always says?
Ask each question aloud and write the answer word for word. No hints, and no fixing the answer.
A child who can write fills in the lines alone.
Skip any question. Nobody has to answer every line.
Afterward, the grown-up checks the box beside every answer that is right.
Before this sheet is posted or pinned up, check it for a full name, a workplace or an address.

These are questions to ask your kids about you: 124 in your voice, so the same sheet works for a mom, a dad, a grandparent or a teacher. Choose who it is about, press Print this list, and write down each answer word for word.
Set up the sheet
The page opens on Mom or dad. Grandparent and Teacher bring in questions only they can ask, such as what do I keep in my desk. For all about mom questions, stay on Mom or dad and write Mom on the first printed line, which reads All about my. Swap any that do not fit. For a child under six, open More options and choose A word or two.

Ask, write, keep
Read each question aloud and write the answer exactly as it comes. Each Show example cover hides a made-up answer. Left closed, it prints as a write-on line, and the samples print on a last page you can leave out. Afterward, check the box beside every answer the child got right.
Tips
For a class set, choose Teacher, print once and photocopy the first page. The last page holds the samples.
Ask again on the same day every year. Save the Share link with the sheet and it reopens the same questions.

Questions and answers
What are good questions to ask your kids about you?
Ones the child is sure about and you are not: how old am I, what is my job, what is something I always say, what am I really good at. The 8 groups here run from the basics to when I was little.
How old should a child be to answer?
About four and up. The CDC milestone list says most children answer simple questions by age 4. Under six, ask aloud, choose A word or two and write the answers yourself. Older kids can fill in the lines alone.
Can I use it for Mother's Day, Father's Day or Grandparents Day?
Yes. In the United States, Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May, Father's Day is the third Sunday in June, and National Grandparents Day is the first Sunday after Labor Day. Choose Grandparent for a sheet that fits a grandma or grandpa.
What if someone else asks the questions?
A teacher or the other parent can ask for you. They put your name where the question says I or me: what is something Mom always says. The first rule printed on the sheet says the same.

How this list was compiled
Written for this site on 2026-09-20 by the gamenightgenerator editors: 124 questions that a grown-up asks a child about the grown-up, in 8 topic groups, each with one invented sample answer that quotes no real child and describes no real person. Own work; no list was copied from another site. Every question is in the asker's voice ('What is something I always say?'), so the same line works for a mother, a father, a grandparent or a teacher with no rewrite, and no question is repeated with another grown-up's name swapped in. x.who marks who can ask a question and have it make sense: parent (102), grandparent (104), teacher (99); 4 fit a parent only, 7 a grandparent only and 15 a teacher only. x.answer is the editors' sorting by how long an answer the question draws: quick (61, a word, a number or a name of a thing) and longer (63, a sentence or a short story). Screened line by line for the clean-deck rules and for a sheet that may be posted: no question asks for an address, a full birth date, who lives at home, or the name of a pet, a school, a teacher, a street or a birthplace; nothing asks about a body, weight, money, faith or a drink, and no sample answer names a workplace, a brand or a real person. The Better Business Bureau alert on social media quizzes (https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/16992-bbb-tip-think-twice-before-taking-that-facebook-quiz, read 2026-09-20) names the street you grew up on, the name of your high school and the city where you were born among answers that match account-security questions; none is asked here. Holiday rules quoted on the page, each read on Wikipedia on 2026-09-20: Mother's Day in the United States is the second Sunday in May (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day_(United_States)); Father's Day is the third Sunday in June (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day_(United_States)); National Grandparents Day is the first Sunday after Labor Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grandparents_Day). No calendar date is printed, because the dates move every year. The CDC milestone list for 4 years (https://www.cdc.gov/act-early/milestones/4-years.html, read 2026-09-20) says most children (75% or more) answer simple questions by that age; this site is not connected with the CDC and the page is not a development check.
