Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out!
How do you celebrate Presidents Month with the young people in your life?
Do your students dress up and role play as a particular presidential couple? Do you bake a cake and sing “Happy Birthday” to George and Abe? Do your kids create a presidential rap? Write a skit or play? Or dramatize a scene from a president’s life using puppets and word play?
How to Enter!
Write a one- to three-paragraph summary or a lesson plan that describes your most creative and successful activity for engaging the young people in your classroom, home school, library, or community group during Presidents Month. Be sure to include a recommended age or grade level.
Your idea could be a writing exercise, an art activity, a research project—any idea you think would be helpful to other educators to get kids engaged in American History!
