Hi there, little friend! Today, we’re going to learn about something special called Presidents Day. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Presidents Day is a special day when we remember and celebrate the leaders of our country called presidents. These are people who help make important decisions for everyone. It’s like when your teacher helps make decisions for your class!
We celebrate Presidents Day to say “thank you” to the presidents for all their hard work. It’s a day to remember some very famous presidents like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. They were leaders a long time ago and did many good things for our country.
Did you know that George Washington was the very first president? He is sometimes called the “Father of Our Country.” And Abraham Lincoln is famous for helping to keep our country together during a very difficult time.
On Presidents Day, you can do fun activities like drawing pictures of presidents or making a pretend president’s hat. You can also read stories about them or even pretend to be a president yourself!
Now you know a little more about Presidents Day. It’s a fun time to learn about the people who have helped our country. Maybe you can even share what you’ve learned with your family and friends!
Thanks for learning with me today. Happy Presidents Day!
Presidential Portraits: Gather some crayons, markers, and paper. Draw a picture of what you think a president looks like. You can include things like a suit, a hat, or even a big smile! After drawing, share your picture with your classmates and talk about what you think makes a good leader.
Presidential Role Play: Pretend you are the president for a day! What important decisions would you make? You can use a toy microphone or a paper megaphone to give a speech to your friends or family. Think about what you would do to help your school or community.
Presidential Scavenger Hunt: With the help of a grown-up, look for things around your house or classroom that remind you of presidents. It could be a coin with a president’s face, a book about a president, or even a hat that looks like one a president might wear. Share your findings and talk about why they remind you of presidents.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
