Forth of July Fun
Independence Day is this Friday in the US. There will be fireworks, parades, games, and lots of fun. Oh, and did I mention the fireworks? That’s the boys favorite part. Seriously, every holiday should include exploding things in the sky.
Since you can make any day a learning experience, including days that involve explosions, I thought I would share a few resources for this Forth of July. Just a few sites that have games and ideas of things you can do with your kids.
- Start off your day with my Red, White and Blue Breakfast. Trust me, it’s yummy!
- The Teacher’s Corner has a collection of 4th of July Activities and Lesson Plans you can use.
- Kaboose has some fun games and quizzes for the 4th.
- Apples 4 the Teacher has a lot of great info from coloring pages to facts on the Revolutionary War.
- Homeschooling at About.com has a fun list of online games for the 4th.
- For younger kids Enchanted Learning has some great activities and craft ideas.
Lots of fun stuff that you can use to keep kids entertained all day, which might be helpful if you’re having family over for the 4th. Word search puzzles and watermelon eating contests are much better than fighting over who did or did not eat the last ice cream bar. Does anyone have any fun ideas up at their blog? Let me know and I’ll add you to the list!
Independence day, 4th of July, kids, fun

Just sayin’.
