Invite students to complete a Grandparents’ Day Interview and other activities to celebrate their grandmas, grandpas, and other special people. Edit the Goodies with Grans Invitations on Google Slides to celebrate loved ones during school-wide events. In an attempt to include all students, many pages say “special person” instead of “grandparent.” Provide the blank coloring pages to allow students to color a celebration ribbon for any family member or friend. This resource is great for upper elementary school teachers who want engaging activities to complete as gifts for or as activities with grandparents.
