Here are some good President's Day Coloring sheets and activities.
Here is a coloring book you can print with the first 43 presidents.
Here is a coloring picture of President Obama you can add to the book.
My 5 year old son has been working on learning the names of the Presidents and I promised him that if he would learn them all I would post a video of him singing them for you. He has worked hard to learn this and so here it is for you!
If you would like to learn the names of the 44 Presidents, here are the words to the song.
The 44 Presidents Song
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Adams, Jackson, VanBuren,
William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Polk and Taylor,
Filmore, Pierce, Buchanan.
Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison,
Cleveland, McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt,
Taft and Woodrow Wilson.
Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, FDR,
Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ,
Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan,
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama.
It works pretty well if you sing it in a peppy way. My son like to shout it out when he gets to "William Henry Harrison" and also at "FDR" and "LBJ". To make the last line work you have to add an extra beat. It works if you slow the last line down a lot and start on the same note you ended with on "Reagan".
I think for the first time in my life I can say the Presidents. I'm actually surprised how easily we learned them this way!
