Question Everything

Stories beyond the Page

Why play this way?

Twenty Questions is a playful invitation to speculate without limits. This activity encourages children to look closely, ask questions, and wonder what might be happening just out of sight. By focusing on question words like who, what, when, where, why, and how, children strengthen their critical thinking and storytelling muscles. They learn that beyond what they see lies a hidden world—and that their curiosity, creativity, and imagination hold the key to unlocking it.

associated activities are amazing!
"They not only help my grandson see the relationship between an exciting subject and the real-world principles involved, but they also strongly personalize the experience for him. He learns that reading is fun, and that learning satisfies his natural curiosity."

Looking forward to gifting these again!
"I have always gifted books at birthdays and these felt like a natural extension of the gifts I already give. It's nice to also be able to give my friends something that comes with additional activities they may not have thought to do."
