CALLING ALL PARENTS!!!
While some of these resources and activities can be done by kids alone, especially older kids, these are meant to be done as a family; these are journeys we are inviting families to go on together. Take the time to tell stories, ask questions, answer questions, remember and EXPLORE. There are so many more resources now that allow us to truly bring history and experience to our children. Finally, we encourage you to engage in conversation with your children. Through our own experiences, and those of others, we know that some of these conversations are difficult and some kids just aren't ready for. Below are some table talk questions you and your family can discuss as well as some resources to help support the more difficult conversations. As always, please share your own stories and resources! |

Online Family Tree Resources
Most online activities will require a free registration, though not all. If you do not feel comfortable registering for a website, please see below for hands-on resources you can download and print to build your family tree. |

You can use just one of the templates, or all of the templates! The purpose is for you and your child(ren) to enjoy creating and discovering your family tree. Here are some other ideas:

These activities offer opportunities to explore both our own personal history and the history of others. It is just as important to learn about other as it is for others to understand us. Exploration Activities
