"Group the family by age then take a picture of each group. Also, hang old pictures of family members and have a kids look-a-like contest. The kid who looks the most like an ancestor wins a prize."
Caitlin Sweeney

"Create (crossword) puzzles and include family member names. Award winners. Also, host a 'Find-a-name' game, for example, Theme: The Bryant Family Reunion. Have players find as many words as possible within the phrase over 3-letters and award the winners."

"Each family should bring at least two items (both adult and child interest) to donate to a family auction effort. Many things can be sold to make money for the next reunion and this could be loads of fun. The more creative the better!"
Susan DeSantis
Brockway, PA

"Have a designated historian in the family to keep an updated family tree album to bring to each reunion. The album can include new additions, deaths and interesting stories about present and past family members. The more information they have the more interesting the album becomes. You'll be surprised what you find out about your ancestors!"
