Make one copy of the family tree per student, preferably on A3 paper. 2. Alternatively: a) make copies of the name cards, family member cards and face cards – one set of each per student plus some extra sets (the number of cards that they will need depends on the number of their family members) – you can copy each type of card on paper of a different colour Other resources needed: glue sticks or double- sided sticky tape, crayons Procedure: 1. Draw a simple version of your own family tree on the board (draw a simple picture for each person, write their name and who they are in the family). Explain what a family tree is to the students. Use the tree to tell them about your family. 2. Tell the students that they are going to make a family tree as a Mother’s Day present. Distribute the family tree photocopies and crayons. Ask each student to name all of their family members and count how many family members each student has. Give out the correct number of face cards to each student. 3. Ask the students to use the face cards to draw pictures of their family members. 4. When all of the face cards are ready, ask the students to lay them out on their family tree (they can put their mothers in the centre of their tree). Monitor and help with the layouts as necessary. 5. Tell the students that they now need to label the pictures with the names of the people and the correct family member words. Spread out the family member cards on a desk or table. Ask the students to come over and find all of the family member cards that they need for their trees. As they do this, go around and give out the correct number of name cards to each student. The students then complete the layout of the tree. Monitor and help as necessary. 6. When the layouts are ready, give out glue or sticky tape and ask the students to stick all of the cards to their family trees. 7. The students then use the family trees to talk about their families, in pairs / groups or in front of the whole class, and then take their family trees home as presents for their mums. Variation Instead of printing out the family member cards, use strips of ordinary printing paper and ask the students to write the family member names they need themselves.
