Fourth of July Lesson & Activity

The Fourth of July is without a doubt one of the best days of the year. Americans can’t help but celebrate. It is truly so beautiful. But what makes this day so special isn’t the patriotic clothing, the fireworks, or the parades. It’s the heart behind this holiday. And we must teach it to our children.

It can be daunting to try to teach such a great story to such little humans. But they are so very capable of knowing and understanding. This Fourth of July Lesson and Activity packet provides background information, easy to understand storytelling, and hands on activities to help bring our nation’s founding to life.

Looking for further resources? Check out our American history children’s book list which offers so many wonderful, educational books for you to read with your family. Our hand painted children’s book, The Great George Washington, serves as another great opportunity to discuss our Founding Father and his role in America’s creation. Check out other crafts and projects on our Activities page to make with your family.

Teaching our children about our country’s founding isn’t hard. It just requires us to be intentional. Thank you for joining us as together we can raise the next generation of proud Americans.
