International Day of Families

At Jigsaw, we believe that every child deserves to feel loved, valued, and like they belong, both at school and at home. International Day of Families (15th May 2025) is a perfect moment to celebrate the many different shapes that families take and help children explore what family means to them.

To support you, we have created a set of free, easy-to-use resources that encourage children to reflect, connect, and share their own family experiences. Whether you are planning a classroom activity or a whole-school celebration, these materials are designed to promote inclusivity, representation and a deeper sense of belonging.

Whether you’re already using Jigsaw Families or simply want to mark the day in a meaningful way, these resources will help you create an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance and celebration.
