On Sesame Street, Elmo is excited to welcome Miss Kelsea. They talk about something very special: families! Families can be different, but they all have one thing in common: love.
Miss Kelsea wants to sing a song about families. Elmo talks about how much he loves his family. This shows us that families can look different, but they are all special.
The song tells us about different kinds of families. Some families have a mom and dad. Others might have just one parent, or maybe grandparents, or even just brothers and sisters. What makes a family is not who is in it, but the love they share.
The most important thing to remember is that love is what makes a family. It doesn’t matter if a family is big or small, or who is in it. Love is what makes a family strong and happy.
On Sesame Street, we learn that love is the most important thing in any family. No matter what a family looks like, love is what makes it special. Everyone claps and cheers at the end, celebrating all kinds of families!
Family Tree Craft: Create a simple family tree using paper and crayons. Draw a tree and add leaves for each family member. Encourage children to include anyone they consider family, like pets or close friends. Ask them to share why each person or pet is special to them.
Family Love Jar: Decorate a jar and fill it with small notes or drawings that represent acts of love within their family. For example, “Mom helps me with my homework” or “My brother makes me laugh.” Discuss how these acts show love and make the family strong.
Family Interview: Encourage children to interview a family member about what family means to them. Provide simple questions like “What do you love most about our family?” or “Can you tell me a fun family memory?” Share these stories in class to celebrate the diversity and love in each family.
