I think a good idea would be for you to show them a diagram showing your family tree, thus making sure they know all the vocabulary associated with families (father, grandmother, daughter, cousin, aunt, etc.). Then get them to draw their family trees and present them to whole group or a subgroup of 4 or 5.

Dear Tanya,
I think it could be a good idea to search for some cards to introduce oneself, to talk about interests, or those like "find somebody who"... some icebreakers like these may trigger off some other ideas .
Hope this helps you!
