Let's Talk About Family!

For Kids & Parents Alike

Why this topic works:
Family is something everyone knows and cares about—making it an ideal subject for ESL/EFL lessons that draw kids in and offer parents a comforting entry point. Talking about family introduces essential vocabulary and invites heartfelt conversations.

Part 1: What Will You Learn?

Key Vocabulary: mother, father, sibling, grandparents, cousins, and extended family members.
Real-Life Conversation Tips: Simple questions like “How many siblings do you have?” or “Who helps you at home?” spark genuine dialogue. Twinkltefl-tesol-certification.com
Building Language Skills: Practice using sentences and descriptions—“I live with my grandmother,” or “My brother helps me with homework.”

Part 2: Fun & Interactive Activities

Family Tree Craft
Kids draw or build their own family trees, labeling each member in English. It's a creative and visual way to reinforce vocabulary. tefl-tesol-certification.com
“Guess Who?” Game
Have children describe a family member (“He is tall and makes funny jokes!”) and let others guess. This sharpens both speaking and listening skills.
Conversation Starters for Home Practice
Suggest parents ask prompts like:
- “What’s the funniest thing that happened with your family today?”
- “Who in your family do you most enjoy spending time with—and why?”
  These questions are open-ended, encouraging longer responses and richer conversation. ParentsMyHealth Alberta

Part 3: A Message to Parents

Dear Parents,

Talking with your child about your family is one of the most powerful ways to encourage their English development. At home, use simple questions and listen actively to their responses—it helps build both their vocabulary and confidence.

Through fun activities like drawing a family tree or playing descriptive guessing games, English becomes relevant and meaningful. These shared moments aren’t just about language learning—they’re about bonding, nurturing curiosity, and celebrating family.
