Have Fun Forging Family Bonds

You may have young people around you just now who are feeling a bit … bored. Perhaps you’d like to see the younger members of your family get “into” their own history?  There are plenty of resources online to help, and here are just a few examples from some websites that have lots more to offer.

National Library of Scotland  Treasure islands, crafts, storytelling, seabirds - particularly good for those with Scottish heritage, but fun for everybody.

FamilySearch Activities  How much do you resemble other family members – even those who lived long ago? Use the Compare-a-Face app on this website. Learn how to make an "All About Me" box, or get some inspiration with different ideas on keeping a journal.

UK National Archives  Educational resources for young people of all ages – the Time Travel Club is just one example of a wide range of activities, covering just about every era of history you can think of.
