Interpersonal Gift-Boosting Activities

by FamilyEducation Staff

In This Article:

Grades 6-8

  • Family Tree Interviews
    Interviewing an older relative is a perfect way to help your kids gain conversation skills. The interviewer learns to listen, and to really pay attention to what the other person has to say.

  • Stone Soup Gatherings
    This activity, based on the popular folk tale, is an ideal way to teach children how to work with others. Kids can plan and make a meal or do something for the needy.

  • Parent and Kid Book Club
    Starting a book club with parents and kids is a great way to share a common interest and learn how to make group decisions.

  • Games People Play
    Board games are a great way for kids to spend time with friends and family. The added benefit: They learn how to win or lose gracefully, take turns, negotiate rules, and challenge each other.

  • Volunteer Time
    Kids are never too young or too old to lend a hand. Help them discover how they can make a difference to others.

    Grades K-2
