These Grandparents Day activities are a fun way for your elementary students to learn more about, and celebrate, their grandparents for Grandparents Day!

They are great as extension or early-finisher activities, or given as take-home independent practice work.

This packet includes a choice board of 9 student choice activities, plus all of the links and Grandparents Day printables needed to complete the activities.

Students can choose from activities like:

Grandparent’s Interview

Design an interview for your grandparent(s) to get to know more about them and their lives! Use these interview questions or make a list of your own questions. When you have their answers, bring them back and share with the class what you found out.

Grandparents Word Search

Think of 10 words that describe your grandparents. Create a word search using these words. Fill in the other letters around the words. Ask a classmate to find your 10 words and tell them why you chose the words that you did.

The Year You Were Born

Use Fact Monster to learn all about the year your grandparent was born. Write down 3 special events, a popular song that year, a movie that was released, and any other fact or extra piece of information you want to share. Organize your information on poster paper, Google Slides, or a Google Doc.
