The interviewer would like to get to know you apart from what is on your resume while evaluating how well your personality will potentially fit into their team. The less guarded you are about your personal life, the more it shows you'll be able to foster interpersonal work relationships. However, you're not in any way obligated to discuss personal matters such as your kids or relationship status, for instance.
An emotionally balanced person will have outside activities aside from what's happening in the workplace. Feel free to share the hobbies and interests which you feel make you interesting and affable. Find relatable points of common interest. The more unique your answer, the more memorable a candidate you stand to be. Focus on unique non-work-related skills or hobbies that exhibit your positive qualities. Tell the interviewer about the variety of ways in which you decompress from work and spend your free time.
