My Family Traditions
Family traditions are experiences or activities that are passed down from one
generation to the next. These traditions can be special ways of doing
something—such as a celebration, holiday, or simply a day-to-day activity.
Family traditions help build memories and create a lasting family culture. Some
examples are: visiting a favorite restaurant, making family recipes together like pie
or fudge, spending time together outdoors on a regular basis, movie nights,
game nights, or reading stories. What are your family traditions?

I love them and they love me There’s no other family just like mine

E
My brother outruns me every day This is my family, what about yours?

E
We dress up like fairies and cowboys and kings
My sister’s a princess and I am the queen
