Family History - Living Learning Moments

3:46 AM, Saturday, July 29, 2006 .. Posted in Homeschooling- Lessons, Ideas and Tips .. 2 comments .. Link
   Here is a fun way to learn a few things about your family, allowing your child/ren to learn some family history/heritage and also some reporting skills.
   Have your child pick some or all of the following questions and 'interview' a family member or two - or three. It may open up lines of communication and give a sense of understanding between the interviewer and the interviewee.

  1. My favorite pastime as a child was:
  2. Did you have a nickname?
  3. Who gave you your name and why?
  4. What do you remember about your bedroom as a child?
  5. What are your earliest memories of church?
  6. Who was the first person to talk to you about God?
  7. What effect did this have on you?
  8. When did you become a Christian?
  9. How did your life change at this time?
  10. Who gave you your first BIBLE?
  11. What kind of prayer did you say before you went to sleep?
  12. Who taught you how to pray it?
  13. Where did your Father go to work everyday, and waht did he do?
  14. How did your Mother spend her day?
  15. Did she have an outside job or did she do volunteer work outside the home?
  16. Describe your Family Room as a child
  17. Where was your childhood home located?
  18. Did you enjoy living there?
  19. Describe your Grandparents' house.
  20. Did you visit them often?
  21. Why or why not?
  22. Share a memory of your Grandparents.
  23. List one special memory about each of your Brothers and Sisters.
  24. What scent takes you right back to a certain place in time?
  25. Some of the most important lessons I have learned in life are:

   Some of these questions are wonderful questions for your child/ren to learn where their heritage as a Believer came from.
   Have some fun and have your child make up some questions of his own.
   You can tailor them to what you already know about your parents/ Grandparents. i.e.: If they served in the military, you might ask what countries they have been to.
   Younger children may even interview older children about things that they don't know. 
   Do you know each of your children's favorite colors?
