Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 36: Grandparents and Generations

**GRANDMA'S STORY BOX — the generations issue every family will treasure!**

Issue 36 of Shalvit Kids TV Magazine is a giant 135-page celebration of grandparents, family stories and the generations that hold us. Grandma opens her tin Story Box of old photos and treasures, and five mini-stories from her own childhood unfold — her school, her market, and her own grandmother — each one ending, "and that's how I became me."

**INSIDE THIS ISSUE:**

• **Hero Story — Grandma's Story Box:** five sepia "old photo" mini-stories travel back to Grandma's childhood, with young Grandma recognisable by her purple head tie — school days, careful market counting, her own grandmother's compound, helper jobs at home, and the festival drum.

• **Story Two — Daddy Was Little Once:** Daddy's old photo opens a games day across the generations (expanding "Kiki Visits Grandma") — the cast play suwe and ten-ten, named truly, with Grandpa as the fairest umpire of all.

• **Bible Story Time — Timothy and His Grandma Lois (2 Timothy 1:5):** a grandma and a mummy teach a little boy the faith at home, and he grows up to help Paul. "Sincere faith first lived in your grandmother Lois" — told in toddler words, with the cast as presenters only.

• **Feelings Corner — Feeling Close Across the Miles:** grandparents near, far away, and in heaven — every family's truth held gently: our loved ones are loved, remembered, and talked about warmly.

• **Learning Lab — Generations:** the 4-step family chain in order (Me → Mummy and Daddy → Grandma and Grandpa → Great-Grandma), true then-and-now pairs (telephone, lamp, market, school), a family tree to colour, and Kiki Asks Why? — "Why do grandmas know so many stories?"

• **Count & Find — The Story Cloth:** count 8 old treasures and 6 photos on Grandma's cloth — every count drawn, numbered and checked in code!

• **Puzzle Pages:** two solver-checked mazes, spot-the-difference, treasure matching, patterns, dot-to-dot, a generations order puzzle and the Big Quiz — with a FULL answer key at the back.

• **Make It — Interview Grandma:** five questions to ask your own grandma or grandpa, plus a page to draw her answer.

• **Special Keepsake — My Generations Tree:** four circles, in the true order of the tree, for your child to draw every generation's face.

• **Yummy Corner — Grandma's Recipe Helper Day:** handwashing first; Grandma does the stove while children wash, count, tear and stir COLD — the safe kitchen jobs, just like the books.

• **Our Nigeria — Oríkì:** the praise-names families chant to remember who a child comes from, told respectfully and simply.

• **Parent Pages:** what your child learned, how to explore the issue together, and the complete answer key.

**Skills learned:** family and generations vocabulary • counting and ordering • listening and interviewing • gratitude and gentle feelings • Bible knowledge • fine-motor colouring, tracing and drawing.
