Family History for Kids

This week we filled out pedigree charts with the kids. I tried to find some that had large print for the kids to be able to write on instead of trying to write really tiny to fit it on. I was thwarted in my attempts, and Google failed me.

So I had to come up with my own way.

I printed their individual pedigree charts out from the computer and cut them apart to glue on note cards. Then we helped them glue them to their own posterboard.

It was fun to share stories with them about their ancestors while we put them together. I even sang them the crossing the street song my Grandma McDowell used to sing...

Look this way and that way
Before you cross the street.
If you run out before you look
You'll be swept off your feet.

It was a lot of fun, and they paid attention quite well, which doesn't always happen during family home evening...
