Zap the Grandma Gap New Activity Books & More

The following is from Family ChartMasters & Zap the Grandma Gap.

Have You Tried Our New Activity Books?
Encouraging Curiosity

Activity Books for Children 8-14

The response has been great for the new activity books we've released for children of all ages.  They are unlike any other family history books you've ever seen.  I hope your family has been enjoying the activities together.  If you haven't tried them yet, they are still available at www.zapthegrandmagap.com   

Studies have proven that greater knowledge about family history strengthens and empowers youth. This knowledge creates self-esteem, resilience and a greater sense of control over their lives. Learning about the family's past also strengthens the relationships between living family members by creating a shared experience and core identity that no one else in the world can duplicate.  These activity books are designed to help you inspire and strengthen the children in your family and build your relationship with them.
