Wendy,
I like Brad's suggestion for a "family shield" made of clay. However,
IF your students are among the walking wounded who populate our
classrooms today, you may want to modify the shield project to "a shield
for the family YOU will have someday". This MIGHT then lead to
discussions of so-called "perfect" families (with the reminder that none
of has such a family) and even, as you would hope, to some opening up
about their own situations. Keep in mind, please, (as I'm sure you
would, but just in case) that all kids are not comfortable talking about
symbols that represent their families, and some are deeply disturbed by
them...rightfully, unfortunately.
