📖 About this Family Tree Worksheet for Nursery
Discover the people in your family
A family tree worksheet for nursery introduces children to familiar family words and the people who care for them. Start with “me”, then invite your child to add a parent, grandparent, sibling, guardian, or another family member. Children can draw faces, name people aloud, or ask an adult to write a label. The tree does not need to look like anyone else's.
Use the printable worksheet available on this page for a simple my family worksheet activity at home or during nursery EVS circle time. Invite children to talk about someone they enjoy spending time with. Some relatives may live in another home or far away; they can still be part of the child's family tree.
Ten playful ways to explore the family theme
The online activities let children add people to a tree, match labelled family cards, find memory pairs, and count members in example families. A relationship trail introduces the words grandmother, mother, and child through a clearly labelled example. A kindness-sorting game explores caring behaviour without assigning household jobs to one gender.
Children can also trace family words with a red pen, draw a family picture, create a together-time plan, and rebuild short sentences. These family activities for preschool use taps and pictures alongside adult-supported reading. The editable tree accepts a child's own labels, so families can use names or familiar words such as Mum, Papa, Dadi, Nana, or Guardian.
Using the worksheet with young learners
Choose two or three activities for one session. Read the instructions aloud, demonstrate a tap, then let the child try. For a family members worksheet for nursery, vocabulary practice can begin with a few familiar people instead of a long list of relatives. Ask “Who would you like to add?” and accept pointing, drawing, or speaking as a response.
The separate quiz has 20 objective questions: 10 easy, 5 medium, and 5 thinking challenges. It covers family words, simple relationships, counting, and considerate behaviour. After submission, children and adults can review the score and explanations together. Personal family choices in the games are not scored.
Pair this activity with the Introduce Myself Worksheet for a conversation about the child. Continue with the My School Worksheet to explore another familiar setting, or use the Cleanliness and Hygiene Worksheet for everyday care routines.
For your 2026 nursery EVS activities, use the printable family tree and online games as conversation starters. Let each child decide what they want to share and celebrate the people they include.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
What is a family tree for nursery children?
A family tree is a picture or chart showing people in a family. A nursery version can start with the child and a few familiar relatives, using faces, names, or simple labels.
How do I teach the my family topic in nursery?
Begin with a conversation about people the child knows. Use familiar family words, look at pictures together, and invite the child to draw or add people to a tree. Practise a few words at a time.
Must every family tree include the same members?
No. Children can include the family members they choose, such as parents, grandparents, siblings, guardians, or other relatives. Families can have different numbers of people and different living arrangements.
Can my child use words such as Dadi, Nana, or Papa?
Yes. The tree builder accepts custom labels, so you can use the child's familiar family names. An adult can help type or explain the English vocabulary in the matching games.
Where do I download the family tree worksheet PDF?
Use the worksheet download button on this WitKnowLearn page. The interactive games add practice alongside the printable resource.
Are the family games the same as the quiz?
No. The quiz uses multiple-choice questions. The games involve building a tree, matching, memory pairs, counting, sorting, tracing, drawing, planning, and sentence puzzles.
Can children play on a phone or tablet?
The page has a single-column mobile layout and large tap buttons. The SVG drawing boards support touch and mouse input. Adult help is useful for reading and typing family labels.
Does the quiz score a child's own family?
No. The quiz scores general knowledge and clearly described example families. A child's personal tree, drawing, and together-time choices have no right or wrong answers.
