How to incorporate President’s Day into Homeschool
If you’re like me then you didn’t plan to incorporate this holiday into today’s lesson. If that’s the case, then you also don’t have a plan for how to explain how this will work for homeschool. No worries, I’ve already come up with simple explanations below so that you can just copy/paste.
English Language Arts
- They demonstrated comprehension by organizing and sequencing historical events as well as presidential terms.
- Developed vocabulary related to political terms and historical events.
History
- Gained a deeper understanding of the sequence of U.S. presidential history because they created the timeline.
- Identified key historical figures and their contributions to U.S. history.
- Explored the impact of major events during different presidencies and their significance.
Math
- Explored the concept of timelines as a visual representation of numerical and sequential data.
Social Studies
- They developed spatial awareness and fine motor skills by cutting, pasting, and organizing the timeline elements.
Why You’ll Love these President’s Day Worksheets
Unique – The reason I created these Abraham Lincoln and George Washington worksheets is because when I was searching google for some good homeschool lessons for president’s day, I could only find sheets with basic information. Example: George Washington chopped down the cherry tree (which isn’t even true), Abraham Lincoln is on the penny, blah, blah, blah. I wanted something that would put my kids a bar higher in what they know so I created these simple, yet informative, FREE printables.
TIPS for Using the President’s Day Worksheets
- if you don’t want to use the pre-written fun facts in these worksheets, then write your own and have your child paste the ones you’ve created onto the timeline instead.
- keep the little ones intentionally occupied by giving them the included coloring page so that you can focus on on the older kiddos.

Items you may need for the President’s Day Activity Pack
- U.S. PRESIDENT PAPER DOLLS
One of our favorite ways to spruce up any homeschool lesson is by bringing some sort of “toy” into the mix so for history lessons my secret weapons are these paper dolls by FAMOUS FIGURES. The kiddos looooove using what they’ve learned to bring the characters to life and it gives me a front row seat to their very educational puppet show ;).
Another good reason is that it keeps little hands busy doing something constructive while they listen to the lecture.
