Then And Now: Grandparents’ Day Interviews

Hello, excellent educators! 🍏 Let’s get ready for Grandparents’ Day! This year, why not make it a tradition to have your students interview their amazing grandparents themselves?

Grandparents are living history books, and our printable Then and Now Interview worksheets are the perfect tool to unlock those captivating stories and experiences. Imagine the delight in your student’s eyes as they sit down with their grandparents, eager to listen and record the shocking differences between everyday life when they were children vs. now.

Create Connections With Grandparents’ Day Questions

Our worksheets are designed to make Grandparents’ Day memorable by bridging generations and creating meaningful connections. Each worksheet includes a group of different objects (television, phones, music, etc.) for students to talk to their grandparents about. The goal is for students to uncover how those things have changed through the years.

These worksheets provide a structured yet flexible interview format, making it easy for students to engage in conversations ranging from heartwarming anecdotes to fascinating historical insights. They are differentiated for students of all ages, making them highly versatile and easily tailored to your classroom’s unique needs.
