Do you have any memories that stand out to you of time spent with any of your ancestors? For me, it’s definitely my paternal grandparents. We lived just a few miles from them and spent so much time with my grandparents! I have fond memories of baking cookies every Christmas. I’ve even shared my grandma’s super soft sugar cookies recipe before because they are seriously the best cookies ever!
I also remember my grandpa’s bear stories from his time working up in wild Alaska building bridges and all the hard work we would help my grandparents with, like hauling and splitting logs for their fireplace.
This activity is all about our ancestors with a fun themed activity like a mini trip to Grandma’s house! It’s a great way to review or teach Family History-I Am Doing It song (archives) this year as part of the D&C Primary Songs list!

Family History-I Am Doing It
At Grandma’s House Singing Time
How to Play:
Sing through Family History-I Am Doing It once, before introducing this fun themed activity to visit Grandma’s house!
Now, ask the children what they call their grandmother – what is their favorite nickname for granny?

Today, we’re going to pretend we are visiting Grandma’s house and have some fun with traditional activities you might do with your grandparents. Did you know, your grandparents are one of your ancestors? That’s what our song is talking about – our family both living and those who have passed on! We are so lucky to be a part of families!
Pick one of the themed activities. You can preselect your favorites from the ones included or let a child pick one. Then, use the activity as you sing the song.

At Grandma’s House Activities:
- Read a Book: Flip through a flip chart together as you sing. You can use my Family History-I Am Doing It flip charts here!
- Have a Sleepover: Turn off the lights and sing soft like a lullaby.

- Go for a Walk: Walk around the room in a single file line as you sing.
