I have fond memories of making slam books when I was a kid for my friends and family. I have one from 20+ years ago that has all sorts of funny things from my family. An uncle's college mind set who now has a family and is on the straight and narrow. It's a great way to get a few fun facts from people for genealogy without getting too intense. I've tried for many years with a newsletter and people always respond better to quick, short questions. So here are some ideas for Slam Books. If you are traveling this summer you can start one at the beginning of your trip and learn about all the family or friends you meet.
I didn't realize until I listened to the following message that slam books started out as a pretty negative tradition of slamming other people. You could make a Compliment Book that has names of each person and everyone can fill in something they admire about them.
