How to Celebrate Grandparents Day during COVID-19 outbreak

During the pandemic happening, many of us are distancing ourselves from social interactions. The elderly must be extra wary and maintain their health due to their age and their declining immune system. Some grandparents live with one of their families while others live alone or in a home.

Our national Grandparents Day is coming soon! Let's use this moment to build closeness with our elders! Here are some activities that you can do to celebrate Grandparents Day while still practicing social distancing during the COVID19 outbreak.

- Report Progress -

Grandparents and grandkids have a special relationship. They love to hear about their grandkids' success and activities! Encourage your child to contact their grandparents to talk about what they do at home or in school! We can use phone call, Skype, Whatsapp and other online tools to call them! 

 

- Throwback to the Past- 

Some grandparents love to tell stories about their lives when they were younger and perhaps impart a few tiny life advises for the young ones, you may also use the sheet below for your child to interview their grandparents.

(Kindergarten 2 and above)

 

- Story Telling - 

Many grandparents excel at reading books aloud to kids or vice versa! Let your child read a story for their grandparents! They are sure to be very proud of their grandkids' abilities!

- Create a Gift - 

Some keepsakes would be wonderful to give to grandparents. Create some simple gifts for them such as: 

A Written Work:

1. Letter

You may use the template below. (Kindergarten 2 and above)

2. Biography

High School Students (Year 7 - 12) might want to dedicate a biography about their grandparents. It also serves as a great bonding time!
 

3. Story

Recollecting the past activities done together or simply making a new fiction about grandpa/ grandma is a creative way to show how much they know or remember about their grandparents!

 

 

A Song/ Singing Video

Good at singing? Maybe you could try singing them a song! Choose from their all time favourites or sing in their local dialect! That's a one of a kind performance that is bound to be shown at family reunions!

 

 

 

 

 

Paint/ Draw a Portrait

A picture can paint a thousand words. Well, go for it! They might be in a treat to see how their grankids sees them. 

 

 

 

 

 

Create a Collage!

 

 

 

Make a Card

 The simplest way to show how much you care!

 

 

Colour a Picture

Can't think of anything to write? Not good with drawing? No worries, you could choose to colour some printables!

A little extra before we all get ready for this special day, here are some ideas of what you (parents) can prepare as gifts for Grandparents Day!

Framed Outdoor Picture

Cell phone check, chalk board, chalk and dressed up kids, CHECK! That's all you need to take this heart warming picture.

 

 

 

Photo Magnets

Get some magnets. Prepare some pictures with your children/ nieces/ nephews holding a white paper. Print it out as big as you want it to be. Spell GRANDMA/ Grandma's name with all the white papers. Laminate and paste the magnet with a glue gun. Talk about creative!

 

 

 

Personalized Plates

This would be a great gift for grandparents! The Unique drawing or writing style would serve as a good memory of their little grandchildren.
