| | Family Trees | Lesson Plan |
 | | Mapping out a family tree can be a great opportunity for younger children to learn more about "where they come from." Often, seeing their immediate family drawn out on paper will help them to remember relatives better and understand those relationships of how those relatives are, well, related! |
 | | Have students bring pictures of their individual family members, and use them along with crayons, markers, and colored construction paper to decorate their trees. |
 | | Start as far back as a family's roots can be traced, and then plot a timeline based on each major event: a move from one town to another, marriages, births, and the current events for that time and place in history. |
