I found some fun resources online to assist with getting children and teens interested in family history. These free downloads include a "Family History Detective" badge to use in coordination with a fun printable graphic that incorporates the twenty questions from the "Do You Know" study that came out of Emory University in 2009. These printables can be assembled into a fun file folder project that children will enjoy putting together, learning from, and sharing at family gatherings.Sugardoodle.net is a fabulous website for the LDS (Mormon) community and she shares lots of ideas for youth and family history including Family Home Evening ideas, descendancy research, and indexing tips.
Lastly, I received an email from Jana Greenhalgh about her new blog called The Genealogy Kids. She's been doing lots of fun things with her kids including a big list of family history activities, tree tips, and research rules.
