#2 Time Travel #HappyTeenChallenge
It's time to use your imagination with Challenge #2 Time Travel!
Here are a series of questions for kids to ask parents and for parents to ask kids.
You can do this around the dinner table, while driving or on a family game night.
You can play this by generation: kids, parents/aunts/uncles, and grandparents.
TEENS ask your Parents

What did you want to be when you grew up?
Tell me something embarring that happened to you in middle/ high school
What happened that felt like a great failure at the time?
Now that you are a parent, what would you tell your teenage self?
What do you think my life will be like when I am your age?
