Big DreamsWhat does everyone in your family dream of doing or becoming one day? Everyone has a dream they hope will come true. Put that dream down on paper! Cut a thought-balloon shape from paper for each member of the family. Inside the shape each one can draw or write what they dream about doing one day. Share your dreams with one another, and they just might come true! Family ReunionGet out that old shoebox full of family photos. It’s time for the family to make a scrapbook about your relatives! Include names of members of your family, following the alphabet, from A to Z. Do you have an Aunt Ann, a brother named Bill or Bob, a cousin named Colette or Carl? Of course, D is for Dad. Once you get going, you won’t be able to stop until you reach Z! Label each page with the letter and write a sentence about the relative. Add a photo or draw a picture. |
