Explore new creative avenues to celebrate your heritage and shared values with these extra ideas.
Plant Some Seeds
- Show and Tell: Pair the tree building with stories from older family members about the people you discover. Even short anecdotes enhance the experience!
- Time for an Interview: Have younger kids interview older family members, asking about their favorite memories or life advice. Include some of those quotes around your tree!
- Presentation Night: Once complete, have a special viewing where you invite some of the family members on the tree to participate in a special presentation by the kids.
Our Story
- Beyond Photos: If you’re creating a storyboard with the values your family shares, consider including ticket stubs from special events, quotes you all love, or drawings of family inside jokes.
- Soundtrack To Our Lives: Play some of your family’s favorite songs while you’re creating the storyboard, music plays a pivotal role in our lives and can often connect us to memories that we might have forgotten.
