Part II contains a variety of intergenerational activities. Many can be adapted for children of different ages. There are also activities for older adults with physical or cognitive limitations.
Each activity starts with its "connections" -- a recommendation of its appropriateness for families, schools, seniors groups/facilities, and/or community groups. In general, connections are prioritized, but in many cases all connections are equally valid. For schools, curriculum connections are listed. Also included are all the materials you need and step-by-step directions.
Reading and discussing Something to Remember Me By, the storybook that inspired the national Legacy Project, can be the starting point that leads into other activities.
After the section on Something to Remember Me By, there are activity sections on Memories & Traditions, Crafts & Keepsake Gifts, Scrapbooking & Other Photo Fun, Storytelling for Hope, and Peace Building.
Activities have a holiday connection, but can also be done throughout the year. For example, the Peace Building section has activities that schools and intergenerational programs can use over the coming year.
Note that books and websites mentioned in the text are fully referenced in the annotated bibliographies at the end of this kit.
