Activities ideas
Invite your family to watch an interview together.
This shared experience could lead to a family discussion about…
- something you learned from the elder.
- questions you have about an activity or experience the elder described.
- how an activity the elder described has changed.
Arts
- Draw a picture of the elder.
- Try to imagine what the elder looked like as a child, a teenager, then make a drawing from this period in the elder’s life.
- Draw a scene or location that the elder described.
Story-telling
- Retell an event or story told by an elder, then share it with a friend or family member.
- If you could change something in the event or story, what would it be and why?
- Create a story with one or more elder as an important character.
