TRIVIA CARDS

Use a computer and printer (or download our triva card template with sample questions) to create 20 or so 3- by 5-inch cards with trivia questions on one side and "Memory Lane" on the other. We included some questions about current players, such as "Where (city or hospital) was the player to your left born?"; others that focused on interesting family history; and a few that required identifying baby pictures.

TREASURES

We used wooden cutouts (available in the wood section of craft stores) for our treasures. Each represents an important element of life: health (an apple), wealth (a car), happiness (a smiley face), knowledge (a book), and relaxation (a palm tree). You'll need a set of treasures for each player. Our game has 4 sets.

TREASURE BOXES

Made from empty candy tins, our treasure boxes are just the right size for holding the treasures. To decorate the tins, we glued leftover wrapping paper to the tops of the boxes, added some color to the sides with electrical tape (slicing the tape along the openings after it was applied), then hot-glued a charm on each.

ODDS AND ENDS

To complete the game, you'll need metal charms matching the ones glued to the treasure boxes to serve as game pieces (one for each player). You'll also need a die.
