Whether they live with them or not, most kids love their grandparents. Wouldn’t you love someone who showered you with love, and scolded your parents if they upset you? But, that’s just one of the reasons why kids love their grandparents.
So, if your little one is pumped about grandparents day and she wishes to do something for dear old grandpa or grandma, Momjunction has her covered. Here is our list of some cute and heart-touching Grandparents Day activities for kids that they can try with their grandparents:
Grandparents Day Games And Activities
1. Cute Grandparents’ Day Poem:
Teach your kid this cute poem that she can then recite to her grandparents on Grandparents’ Day:
“Grandmas and grandpas are everything nice,
Like presents and candy and raspberry ice.
And chocolate fudge sundaes, with cherries on top,
And popcorn and peanuts and grape soda pop.
In winter or summer, in rain or sun,
Grandmas and grandpas are always fun”.
2. Cook A Family Recipe Together:
- Every family has, at least, one special heirloom or family recipe that is passed onto every new generation.
- Let your kids find out more about this special heirloom or family recipe and help prepare it together with the grandparents.
- If your kids are too young, you can always let them be a part of the cooking process without letting them use sharp objects.

- To make it look cute, you can all dress together in similar colors or dresses.
4. Ten Things I Love About You:
- Let your daughter’s words warm up grandma and grandpa’s hearts this Grandparents’ Day with this ‘Ten things I love about you’ activity.
- Ask her to think up, at least, ten things that she loves about her grandma and, at least, ten things that she loves about her grandpa.
- Instead of writing them out on a card, let her say it out loud to the grandparents and also describe more about why she loves those particular things.
5. A Grandparent And Grandkids Only Time Zone:
- Staying true to the spirit of Grandparents’ Day, give your kids, and their grandparents spend some quality time together, without you or your partner anywhere in the picture.
- Let them form a team and spend time doing something interesting. For instance, your kids and the grandparents can visit a nearby farmer’s market or park, can go to an animal reserve, visit a library or even go to a movie.
- Once they are back, treat them to a delicious meal that includes a favorite of the grandparents and the grandkids.
6. Create A Memory Box:

9. Read A Book On Grandparents:
- Help your kids read a few books that talk about the beautiful relationship that grandparents and grandkids share.
