Being At Home
A HOLIDAY ACTIVITY FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR FAMILYÂ
Being at home is giving us all the opportunity to reconnect with our loved ones. In this link, you will find questions your daughters can ask you, their grandparents, aunts and uncles, as a way of building connections and to learn more about their family history.
What other questions could the girls be asking family members to gain a great insight into their family history?
Are your girls recording or documenting the information they are gathering from family members?
