Jeanne Arguelles shared this wonderful idea, and I thought some of you might be interested in doing it ! Her sample card is awesome! Another fun idea... I made my kids some "Ancestor Trading Cards." They're about 4x6 laminated cards; the front has a picture of the ancestor, their name, and their relationship to my kids (eg; great-grandmother). The back has their "stats" - birth, death, marriage, parents -- and a couple interesting facts about the person. The idea is to spread them out on the floor/table and match them up with parents/spouse/child to form a family tree. My kids enjoyed them -- although probably not as much as I enjoyed making them! Lol! Here are a few samples: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gamadiso/tradingcards.htm
