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-tryeeŠ" 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.
