I have 2 answers:
1. Como ellos no tenian tecnologia en esa epoca, ellos podian jugar con juegos de mesa. Tambien ellos podian ir a la escuela para aprender. (Since they didn't have sorts of technology, they could play with board games. Also tey can go to school to learn)
2. (If you are asking for a translation) ¿Qué hacía tu mamá o papá cuando él o ella tenía cinco años? = What did your mom or dad do when he or she was five years?
Hope this is helpful
