Activity Day - Family history

Last night for Activity Days, I taught the girls about Family History. We talked about the importance of keeping journals and about our ancestors. We create our own family trees. It was a fun and super easy activity.
NOTES:
1) I got the canvas from Michaels (3 for $3.99), I think they are 9X12.
2) I used my friend's Cricut to cut out 1 1/2 inch leaves.
3) I told the girls to bring family names from themselves to their great grandparents.
4) the trunk and branches are brown yarn.
Here is the invitation/flyer I gave to the girls the sunday before the activity. There are four to a page.
Here are the handouts I gave them to put in their binders about the lesson and activity.


If you click on the images, drag the image to your desktop and print.

I love your blog, and your ideas. I'm in activity days in my ward and I want to do the family tree activity and I would love the binder stuff also, but I can't email you for some reason. My email is escramper@yahoo.com
I think that this idea would totally work for YW's too. I might just do that.
I would love to have these handouts as well as the binder pages also. I cant email you my computer is being dumb. My email is smexcavating@hotmaail.com
I just wanted to stop by and tell you how cute your ideas are! I'm loving your ideas!
Hey I just wanted to say thanks for all the great ideas. I've been in activity days for 2 years now and I was needing some new & creative ideas. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi, great ideas for recording family history. I'm a graphic designer and sell family tree charts at Etsy.
What glue did you use for the yarn? Just Elmer's?
Yes, I used elmers glue :-)
Unable to copy and paste this information which I love.......the font is too small and I can't read it, also the color doesn't lend itself to being bold and more readable. Would love to have both your list.
God Bless You.
HI Ella,
I don't have your email to email you the files. But I would also try clicking on the images/pages and a large readable printable file will appear that you should be able to use. hope that helps.
Love this how you've put it together! Looking forward to doing this with our class :)
