Family Day
Directions:
Begin by discussing members of each child's family. You may even want students to draw a picture of his/her family for display on "Family Day."
Ask students to make an invitation to members of their family to come to a special "Family Day." The teacher and/or administrator will need to predetermine the day and time of the event. Some suggestions include a breakfast, lunch, picnic (with games), or evening picnic.
On the day of the event, children can help make decorations and snacks for the party. When family members arrive, encourage children to introduce their family members to others.
