Family TreeHere is a fun way to learn about your ancestors. Take a large piece of paper and write your child’s name at the bottom. Then branch out above and write their mother and father’s names. Continue to branch out upwards with relatives’ first, middle and last names. You can add birthdays if you wish. When the information is complete, use markers to decorate it into a tree. Look for common names passed down through the generations. |
