Activity Idea:
Family Tree
Sit down with your kids and make a family tree, as far back as you can remember.
Ask your kids to color, or create with craft supplies, a tree to use for your family tree. You can find a design for your family tree HERE.
As you fill in your tree, try to share one story about each member of the tree that reminds you of them (as far back as you can remember).
Once you can’t add any more names to the tree, you may want to jump online to see if you can find any more ancestors (ancestry.com has a great free trial). While going online may not be as fun for younger kids, they will definitely enjoy the stories you share about their ancestors.
Dear God, you hold our family in your hands. We pray for you to bless us. May we each feel your presence, strength and love. Amen.
