Constitution Day

The Scene At The Signing Of The Constitution by Howard Chandler Christy
More on this picture including who the people are in the picture here



Today we are celebrating the document that rules our country, the Constitution of the United States. I've found several resources to help.

Lots of resources and activities at the Constitution Day website.

Homeschool Freebie of the Day provides activities and audio.

For fun let your kids listen to Barney Fife recite the Preamble to the Constitution and then ask them to see if they can do it!
Remember...I can't endorse everything on youtube so proceed with caution.




And you can't beat Schoolhouse Rock for learning fun!





Youtube yields lots of dramatic readings of the Constitution. This is part one of a 5 part series.



And don't forget to have your kids draw their own Constitution Day poster in this contest!
Addendum!! Learn Out Loud just listed this free audiobook on the life of George Washington.
