This year’s Family Literacy Week theme is “Let’s Have a Family Party,” and emphasizes:
- Bonding: Family parties help strengthen relationships, fostering closer bonds between children and relatives.
- Social skills: Interacting with family members helps children develop social skills like communication and cooperation.
- Learning through play: Many party games involve learning, problem-solving and critical thinking. Games promote learning in an enjoyable setting.
- Memories: Children can look back on family parties with warmth.
- Cultural connection: During family events, children learn about their cultural heritage through stories, traditions and practices.
- Positive associations: Enjoyable experiences at family parties support positive feelings towards family time and gatherings.
