You don’t need the sun to grow your own family tree!

publication date: Jul 12, 2007
Here’s a summer holiday project that won’t cost you a thing (except the paper you print on!).

Findtree will encourage children to research their family tree by talking to aunts, uncles, grandparents  and other family members to discover more about where they come from and who they are.

This is a great activity to take with you if children are staying with relatives during the holidays. Perhaps they’ll even get the chance to rummage through boxes or albums of old photographs.

Go to findtree.co.uk and click on the child picture icon for downloadable forms that guide the child on who to talk to and what to ask, from where were you born to the type of jobs they had and the hobbies they enjoyed.

Another bonus for children is finding out what Mum and Dad were like as children and what they got up to!

Of course there’s scope for children to pose their own questions as well and it’s something the whole family can get involved with.
