About this resource

What's inside this resource

Two family-tree graphic organizer layouts, one covering an immediate family and one an extended family out to second cousins and great-aunts and uncles, are provided as editable Google Slides text boxes for students to fill in with family members' names. Each layout comes in a black-and-white version and a green-themed version, giving four total design options, and the file includes a link for making a personal copy of the slideshow before editing. Instructions note that students with access to a camera can insert a photo of themselves into the page, and the completed organizer can be shared digitally or printed on standard 8.5 x 11 paper. The resource functions as a fill-in template for teaching family-relationship vocabulary and structure rather than a pre-written lesson.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify and record family relationships (parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins) using a graphic organizer.

Teaching tips

  • Have students complete the immediate family tree first before moving to the extended version, since the extended layout adds second cousins and great-aunts and uncles.

  • Direct students to make their own copy of the Google Slides file via the provided link before editing, since the original is read-only.

  • Offer the printable PDF version for students without reliable device access, since the resource is set to standard 8.5 x 11 paper size.

Skills covered

  • Family relationship mapping - students enter names into labeled boxes for immediate and extended family roles, from grandparents and parents through second cousins.

  • Digital template editing - students customize editable text boxes in Google Slides and can insert a personal photo via webcam.
