Presidents Day for Kids

The third Monday of every February is President’s Day.

Although a lot of children are off of school on the official President’s Day, teachers and homeschooling parents can spend the week leading up to the holiday teaching kids about the current president and all past presidents. We have lots of fun ideas for celebrating Presidents Day for kids with toddlers, preschoolers, kindergatners, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3 students.
