Ancestral Tree Project: Digging Up Your Roots!

This summer project is a fun way to explore your family history and create a cool ancestral tree diagram chart! Here's what you'll need to do:

Materials:

  • Large sheet of paper (construction paper or chart paper)

  • Pencils, crayons, markers, or colored pencils (get creative!)

  • Scissors (optional, for pictures)

  • Glue (optional, for pictures)

  • Pictures of family members (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Plan the Tree:

  • Draw the trunk of a tree in the center of the paper. This represents you!

  • Branch out from the trunk two main limbs, one for your mom's side (left) and one for your dad's side (right).

  1. Add Parents and Grandparents:

  • At the end of each main branch, draw two circles or squares. These represent your parents. Label them "Mom" and "Dad".

  • Above each parent, draw another two circles or squares. These represent your grandparents. Label them accordingly (e.g., "Mom's Mom", "Mom's Dad", "Dad's Mom", "Dad's Dad").

  1. Go Further Back (Optional):

  • If you have information about your great-grandparents, you can add even more branches above your grandparents. Just follow the same pattern of two circles or squares per set of parents.

  1. Decorate and Personalize:

  • Decorate your tree with leaves, flowers, or birds!

  • You can also add pictures of yourself and your family members (if available) by gluing them next to their corresponding names.

  • Get creative and make your family tree unique!

Bonus:

  • Interview your parents or grandparents to learn more about your family history.

  • Find out interesting facts about your ancestors, like their professions, hobbies, or where they lived.

  • You can even add these details next to their names on the tree.

Tips:

  • Use different colors for each generation (e.g., green for you, blue for parents, red for grandparents).

  • Write neatly and clearly so everyone can easily read the names.

  • Don't worry if you don't have information about all your ancestors. Just fill in what you know and have fun!

This project is a great way to learn about your family and connect with your heritage. Have a blast exploring your family tree!
