Family Reunion Nametags
Who's who? And how are we related? These brightly colored nametags help cousins and other kin figure out family connections.
1. Family reunions are special times when families get together, reconnect with relatives, and share family history with several generations. Perhaps your family's reunion happens at a special time, such as on Juneteenth or at a bat mitzvah. Some reunions include a few cousins while others host hundreds of people with the same heritage.
2. Nametags are a useful tool to help people figure out who's who. Here's one way to help your family find connections among relatives.
3. With Crayola® Scissors cut construction paper into strips. Fold the paper in half to create an easy-to-read name tag. With Crayola Gel Markers, write each person's first name on one side.
4. Cut pieces of colorful ribbon wide and long enough to print names on them lengthwise. The widths of the ribbons may vary to illustrate different types of names, such as middle names and maiden names (last names of women before they changed their name after they were married). If you wish, use the same color of ribbon or marker as a way to group members of immediate families together.
5. Tie a long necklace of yarn or ribbon and place it inside the fold of the nametag. Using Crayola School Glue, attach the ribbons with names so they hang down from the bottom edge. Seal the tag closed. Dry.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
