Family Traditions Survey

Dear Family:
During the next few weeks we will be discussing how each of us grow and change through our
relationships with our families. We will talk about how family activities and traditions strengthen
our relationships with each other. Please help your child fill out the following family survey and
return it to school by___________________. By completing this short survey we can have actual
examples for each child to share with the class. This will make our class discussions much more
meaningful.
1. Please describe your favorite place to go as a family. For example; We go for a drive up
the canyon to go hiking. or We go on vacation to the lake.

2. What is your familys favorite meal? The meal may be traditional for holidays, birthdays,
or other special occasions. For example, We make clam chowder on Christmas Eve. or
On my birthday I get to choose Mexican food.

3. What is a favorite book your family likes to read together? Why is it a book your family
enjoys?

4. Please describe two family traditions. They may include holidays, vacations, birthdays, or
other celebrations. For example, On Sunday nights we always pop popcorn. or We visit
my grandma on Saturdays.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to help your child complete this survey.
