Jenny from the Spanish Playground website writes, “Making a family tree is a common activity in language classes. Kids label their family members in Spanish. Teachers ask questions, orally and in writing, about the relationship between family members. If teachers are short on time, we sometimes give kids fictional family trees to learn the vocabulary for family members in Spanish.

“Family trees are an effective way of working with family vocabulary. I have to admit though, that I don’t think they are very interesting if you stop with the family tree. I try to think of other ways to use them. Once kids have a family tree in front of them, try activities like these to teach family members in Spanish.”
