Kids love family history too.
The book above is a great way to introduce kids to genealogy. If you've ever thought of finding your roots, Emily Anne Croom's is the genealogy guide to get you going. She's got sensible chapters on how to get started, the meaning of names, the difference between a family history of dates and a family history of stories, how to gather sources, who to interview, and how to fit it all together. Croom breaks the process into bite-sized pieces to turn it into a fun project that takes shape and grows with each new family scrap. The Internet and the World Wide Web have made searching family histories fast, fun, and easy.
