| Celebrate small
accomplishments like '100 on a math
test' or 'did well in the school
play' by making a favorite meal for
the honoree. Make a small medallion
(card board, tinfoil and ribbon) for
the honoree to wear also. Look for
things to celebrate!
Celebrate your
family's heritage. Prepare foods
from that ethnic group. Look at old
pictures. Check out books and videos
from the library to learn more about
the ethnic background of your
family. Don't forget to invite
grandma and grandpa!
Read a play with
your family! Find a play that is age
appropriate. Each family member can
read a part. Mom and dad can help
the real little ones. Kids love
this!
Rewrite the words
to a familiar song! For example,
take Jingle Bells and turn it into a
song about your family: "The
John-son's; the John-son's; They
live in the coun-tryee¦" You can get
really goofy!
Have your kids
dress up and invite them to tea!
Create small invitations for each of
them. Use little dishes if
available. Pour juice for the kids
and have some special 'tea' treats-
miniature cookies/cakes. |
