Create Family Albums An All about My Family book can contain pictures of individual family members or of things the family does together (plays ball, eats dinner, watches TV). You can include holidays the family shares and places the family goes together (the supermarket, a restaurant, the beach). Children may have their own ideas about who to include—some may include pets, cousins, grandparents, and even “aunties” and “uncles” who are not literally relatives.
Others may only include the people who live in their house, or include just their parents, siblings, and themselves. Children can bring in real photographs, draw pictures themselves, or cut pictures from magazines to represent their families’ favorite activities and places. Help children write or dictate captions for their pictures and share their books with their friends.
