For classroom teachers at the 4th-6th grade level. We are recruiting classroom teachers to pilot lesson plans with students. We want feedback to improve a national curriculum with the goal to make genealogy accessible to all students.
Family History for Kids
Below are several free, easy-to-do activities that will keep kids entertained and get them thinking about their family history. These exercises are designed to teach critical skills while encouraging kids to explore their personal connection to the past. Studies show that young people who know facts about their heritage have a stronger sense of self, which can help them perform better in school and life. Have fun!
