Anytime you can help the children of our nation become more educated about the process of our government, it’s an important lesson for them to learn.
There always seems to be something going on in our lives that deals with politics on every outlet that we watch or listen to and the truth of the matter is that the children are hearing these things, too! This Presidents Day activity helps to bridge that gap and create a knowledge base that they can build on as they grow.

Presidents Day Writing Activity
What I find to be great about this writing activity is that the children can use their fine motor skills like cutting, coloring, and then using their research skills to gather information and facts.
Presidents are not only interesting, but there are many of them to choose from to learn about as well! The kids will even get to pick their favorite President and write about why they feel that way.
Adding this to your Presidents Day kindergarten lesson planning gives the students the chance to learn more about our past and current Presidents and really dig deep about why they think that they’ve done a good job while they’re in office.
How to use this Presidents Day Writing Activity
Have I mentioned that this Presidents Day activity never gets old? You can easily do this every single year and learn more about all the various Presidents throughout time.
And the way that this turns into a craft is that the kids are making a really cool flip-flap book that they can show off to all their family and friends. It’s not only fun to make but it gives them their own “book” to create as well.
