Family Newsletter

Categories:

Ages:

3-5, 6-8, 9-12, 13+

Summary:

Keep far-away relatives up to date on what's going on when you write a family newsletter.

If you have a computer:

  • Your child can use a standard Word processing program to write stories about family events from the past year: weddings, vacations, births, parties, and more.
  • Import photos into the document. Or narrow the margins to make a column of text, print, and glue photos onto the paper.
  • Make copies of the newsletter and mail to relatives.

If you don't have a computer:

  • Work with your child to handwrite stories about recent family events.
  • Cut out photos or images and paste or glue them onto your letter for decoration.
  • Find a local copy machine (most public libraries have one) and make copies to mail to relatives.
