Regardless of the age, colour, gender, or number of people who you share your home with, they all come together to make the same thing: a family. Listen to the song in the video below.
The song includes the following lovely lyrics:
‘What makes a family? What ingredients do you need? Stir it up and see.’
Together with your family members, think about what words you associate with family, for example, ‘love’, ‘support’, ‘care’ and ‘acceptance’. Write your words (ingredients) down and make them into your own special recipe, which will be unique to your family. These might include: a cup of kindness, three teaspoons of affection, a pinch of humour, a tablespoon of sharing, a zest of patience, half a pound of respect, a dash of silliness, two ounces of love etc.
You could make a poster to go up in the kitchen for your family recipe.
