My Family Activities for Early Years

The My Family theme can be explored through a range of practical and play-based activities. Use family figures and small world resources for role play and storytelling, while books and puzzles can introduce children to different families and experiences.

Creative activities such as family portraits, drawing and stencil work can also encourage children to talk about the people who are important to them and develop their understanding of relationships and identity.

Exploring Different Families

Every family is different. The My Family theme provides opportunities to introduce children to a variety of family structures, cultures and experiences in an age-appropriate and inclusive way.

Using diverse figures, books and role-play resources can help children see different families represented in their learning environment while encouraging conversations about similarities, differences, relationships and belonging.
