*Inspired by an activity choice in the GSUSA 1980s program for Across Generations
Families go through many big moments. There are happy ones like weddings and new babies, and hard ones like losing someone or moving away. These moments can be different for each family, but all are part of life’s journey.
Families celebrate special events in many ways, like having parties, ceremonies, sharing stories, or giving gifts. They also support one another during tough times, by spending time together, listening, helping with chores, or simply being there.
The pictures you collect or create will help you think about the events that shape a family’s life, and how families show love, support, and connection.
