Presidents’ Day Activities for Elementary School Students — Easy or Hard?
The simple answer? EASY!
Teaching about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln for Presidents’ Day doesn’t have to be daunting for you or boring for your students!
These resources are perfect for 3rd/4th grade. They could even work for your 2nd graders who need a challenge, or 5th/6th grade students who may struggle with comprehension.
Having several activities can be a lifesaver in the classroom. Some of the activities are perfect for the whole class (maybe reading aloud the reading passages). Others offer great team building activities as students work in groups (escape rooms)! And, what about those early finishers? How about color by code and summary activities?
These activities could easily work in your classroom for the first few weeks of February, allowing your students to learn all about these American presidents!
