In this 3-session course, drawn from the Jewish Grandparents Network Family Room, learners use photographs to tell stories. Target age group: upper-elementary and middle-school students, grades 5-8. The first two sessions are optional for in-class use. They can be used independently or as preparation for the third session — an intergenerational family program. 

This guide includes everything you need: goals, materials, learning sequence with timing, facilitator script, links to resources on the JGN website, and a full multi-gen family program.
