Plan a time when the entire family can be together to decide on your family food motto. A family motto is a short phrase or sentence that describes an important characteristic or aspect of the family. It expresses a main belief the members have about their family. A motto might read "We are kind to each other."

Have each member make suggestions about what the family food motto might say. Talk about the ideas. Decide on the motto. The family motto can be printed on a piece of cardboard or paper and hung in a prominent place in the home.
