The Family Tree
(paper & photos)
You will need:
- a background paper for each child
- a recent photo of the child
- crayons
- white glue or glue sticks
What to do:
- tell children they are going to make a picture of their family
called a ‘family tree’
- explain that a ‘family tree’ shows people who are in your family
- not anyone else’s - just yours!
- encourage children to draw a tree with many branches on their
background papers
- on each branch of their tree, they are to draw their immediate
family (ie. their mommy, daddy, brother, sister, pets, etc.*allow
for various configurations of ‘family’)
- this finished, encourage children to glue the picture of themselves
onto their family tree wherever it will fit
- label work and clean up
- share family tree with friends! tell about who is in it.
