Sit down with your grandparents, or call them on the phone and tell them how much you love them. Ask them to tell you a story about what their life was like when they were your age. When you are finished talking with them, write a summary or draw a picture of the story that they shared with you. There is a lot that we can learn from our grandparents!

August 21 is Senior Citizens Day

August 21 is Senior Citizens Day: Teach your children about the importance of recognizing and honoring the seniors in our lives by doing one of these special activities together on this special day:

• Send a letter in the mail, an email, or make a phone to a senior in your life to let them know that you are thinking of them. • Have some fun in the kitchen with your little ones by preparing a few freezer meals to take over to a special senior in your life. • Have your kiddos create 10 questions that they would like to know about a senior citizen in your family, and let them video an interview with this special person.   • Let your kids plan a dinner date with a special senior in your life. • Invite a senior over to play card games as a family. Let them teach your little ones a new game.
