Connecting Generations Choice Board

Denise Gorss Family Catechesis

Connecting Generations Choice Board - great companion to "Sharing the Wisdom of Time" book

Encourage connections between generations with our new choice board that invites children to learn about and develop deeper relationships with their elders. Give children choices by asking them to select and complete a set number of activities from the board: three-in-a-row, any four, or whatever number you choose. Activities include options for children to interview their grandparents, write a song, make a chart, and more.

Celebrate a loved elder’s birthday, honor Grandparents Day, or mix it up on a future family video chat with ideas from the Connecting Generations Choice Board.

Flip through any tabloid magazine and you’ll see splashy spreads touting all the ways the rich and famous are just like us! They drink coffee. They have children.

In our celebrity-obsessed culture, it’s not easy to remember what real role models are made of. Instead of People, we should be reading Saints. […]
