About this worksheet
A colored cousins tree made for grandparents: Grandma and Grandpa's names on a sign on the trunk, six branch signs for their children's families and three apples under each sign for the grandchildren, 18 cousins in all. Each family's apples have their own color. A sweet gift for Grandparents Day, a reunion or a holiday card from all the cousins. It is a good fit for third grade social studies and heritage projects, around ages 8 to 9.
Tips for using it
- Fill in what you know in pencil first, then call a grandparent or older relative with your list of blanks. One phone call often fills a whole generation.
- Write women under their birth surname as well as their married name; it makes records much easier to find later.
- Use full dates in the form 12 Mar 1948 instead of 3/12/48, so nobody mixes up the day and the month.
- For a school project, ask the teacher whether pets, step-parents or guardians may be included. Most teachers say yes.
