Holiday Lessons
Holiday lessons provide a fun and easy way for students to learn about our government and its history. Each holiday honors a person or event that had a lasting influence on our nation. Federal holidays like the Fourth of July are patriotic. Some holidays originated outside the United States but are enjoyed by Americans of all origins. The holiday material on this civics website includes photo lessons, worksheets, crossword puzzles, PowerPoint presentations, videos, and more. Best wishes on all occasions and holidays, Christina Niven.
