About these my family worksheets

Every child's family is different, and every family belongs on the page. These My Family worksheets let preschoolers draw and count the people they live with, learn family words like baby and grandma, and talk about how they help at home.

The drawing and counting pages are open, so a child can include anyone they call family. The word and sorting pages use friendly pictures of a baby, children, a mom and grandparents to practice the words and the idea of grown-ups and children.

  2. On How Many in My Family?, color one heart for each person, then count the colored hearts together.
  3. Read the word on each row of Who Is It? and let your child circle that person.
  4. Do the grown-ups and children sort as cut and paste, or circle the answers on the no-cut page.
  5. After I Help My Family, pick one job your child can do at home this week.

Teaching tips

  • Keep the language open: draw the people you live with, or the people who love you. That works for every family.
  • Pets count as family to many children. Let them add the dog or the fish.
  • Some children live in two homes. Offer a second page so they can draw both.
  • Counting a big family? Ten hearts covers most families. Add more hearts on the back if needed.

Questions teachers and parents ask

How do I talk about families in preschool when every family is different?

Use open prompts such as draw the people you live with, and let each child decide who belongs on the page. Point out that families come in many shapes and sizes.

What family words should preschoolers learn?

Mom, dad, baby, brother, sister, grandma and grandpa, plus the words your own family uses, such as auntie or nana.

Are there answer keys?

Yes, for Who Is It? and the grown-ups and children sorts. The drawing, counting and coloring pages have no key.
