About this worksheet
A printer-friendly family tree for the classic school assignment: name and class lines, eight great-grandparent tags under a ribbon, four grandparents, two parents, two sibling tags and a Me tag on the trunk, all drawn on a tree to color. The last line asks where the family comes from, a common heritage question in third grade social studies. Black and white. 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.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
