Friday, April 10, is National Siblings Day, a day on which to recognize our relationships with our siblings. Most kids interact with their siblings every day, but it's usually in the form of play or conflict. Since interviewing family members is such a big part of learning about family and family history, I've created an interview printable with several simple questions that children can ask their siblings. (Click on the image below to download a copy of the interview as a PDF.)
Sibling Interview by Growing Little Leaves
If you child cannot yet read or write, they can still conduct the interview with your help. Read the interviewer the questions and then let him or her address those questions to their sibling(s). Then, help the child record their answers (or the sibling can him him/her record the answers). You can make this a fun activity: Have the child pretend that he/she is a journalist or author writing a great history of the family. You may even find that the child wants to interview more family members!
