Playing "Ancestor"

Kids love to pretend.  They play house, store, school.  They pretend to be firefighters or cowboys or anything else they can imagine.  This week at our house, the kids are playing "ancestor."  All you need are a few stories or details about your ancestor's life, and you can pretend you're them!  Here's an example from our YouTube channel:
