The Sandy Utah Willow Creek Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has compiled a list of activities that you can do with your family centered around family history. These would all make great family activities with your children and grandchildren. Over the next few months, we will share those activities with you. Here are several for this month with game related activities.

① Have a family movie night where old family movies and pictures are shown. Hoot and holler and cry over some of the great memories captured. Serve popcorn and root beer floats.

② Have a game night where you do old fashioned indoor and outdoor games with your family. Make sure to do some run relays. Make old fashioned desserts like homemade ice cream.

③ Make an Ancestor Bingo game with the name FAMILY at the top. Put in each square an ancestor picture with their name included. Picture could be living family members. Make different cards for the number of people you may have playing.

④ Make an ancestor matching card game with two matching cards for each ancestor.

⑤ At the beginning of a new year, on a special holiday, or another occasion, have each family member bring 10 trivia questions with answers that pertain to their family for the previous year. Put the trivia question in a bowl and have family members pull them out and try to answer them. Questions correctly answered are retained by the person who answered them. Prizes for the most correct answers.

⑥ Make a puzzle from a digital family portrait or ancestor picture. Have a lab print them. Talk about the family members as they put the puzzles together.
