Grandparents give us a special connection to family history, an appreciation for cultural heritage, and a first-hand account of days gone by. On Grandparent's Day (September 11, 2022), we invite your family to honor your grandparents by visiting old memories while making some new ones.
Here are some heartfelt questions and fun activities to help families get to know grandma and grandpa better than ever before.

Travel Through Time
- Which decades have your grandparents been alive?
- Where were they living and what were they doing during each decade?
- What was life like (technology, transportation, music, fashion)?
- Which decade would they return to and why?
- Make a collage using family photos to highlight their history.

Dance Through the Decades
