Question for you…just how much do you know about the Fourth of July holiday?
Do you know who the Founding Fathers are?
Can you list the 13 original colonies?
Do you know what surprising invention Thomas Jefferson is known for?
We all associate the Fourth of July with backyard barbeques, patriotic parades, and fireworks shows, but what important events in American history actually shaped this holiday?
If your family or students are ready to dive deep and add historical meaning to this American holiday this year, then be sure to check out my new Fourth of July Display Board and Learning Bundle.
First, you’ll learn the key historical facts that shaped the Fourth of July holiday, answer trivia questions, play a few games, and then launch into making this beautiful display board to showcase in your home for family and friends to see and learn from.
Which one of your family or friends will linger around this board the most? : )
It all starts with making the United States Flag with easy-to-print board elements that are pasted onto a 20 X 30-inch foam board (I buy my boards at the Dollar Store!).
You can leave your board as is or print and paste the holiday elements for added flair. Then enjoy browsing the 21 pages of all things Fourth of July, including the most delicious Apple Crisp Recipe that would be the perfect addition to your Fourth of July food table this year.
This is a great summer learning pack for your family to print and come back to again and again over the course of a few days! It will bring fun family discussions, historical insight, and lasting knowledge about the Fourth of July – and the United States – for years to come.
To see all aspects of this festive Fourth of July Board as well as many other country boards – Mexico, Bolivia, Turkey, Tunisia, Australia, Spain, Day of the Dead – head on over to my Etsy Shop, Countries on Board!
Happy Fourth of July!
