Read together

Grandma has a story. Listen!

Grandpa remembers a song.

Do it

1. Call, video chat or visit a grandparent or older friend. Ask them to tell a short story or sing a song from when they were little.
2. Let your child listen, wave and say hello. A few minutes is enough.
3. Afterwards, tell your child one thing you heard: “Grandma played games outside.”
4. Record or write the story to keep in a family book.

Talk about it

• Who tells you stories?
• What song did they sing?

For the grown-up

Stories from older people connect children to their family's history. Video calls are a good way to include grandparents who live far away.
