U.S. Presidents Activities Bundle

Looking for multiple activities for a unit on U.S. Presidents? Perfect for distance learning, Presidents' Day, American history, government, biography projects, and social studies lessons in general! This bundle of activities is a great way to enhance your social studies lessons and ensure your students know relevant facts about each president.

The following activities are included. Activities are clickable if you're interested in buying individually:

U.S. Presidents Body Biographies - includes both a printable and digital version in Google Slides™

A sensory figure is a drawing of a historical, living, or fictional figure with first-person descriptions of what they might have thought, seen, heard, touched, said, felt, or otherwise experienced during their lifetime. Students “show what they know” about the figure by writing 1-2 sentence descriptions for their figure’s thoughts, feelings, and actions.

U.S. Presidents 2 Page Graphic Organizers - includes both a printable and digital version in Google Slides™

These organizers allow students to go beyond reading to really interact with the chosen text as they determine which facts are relevant. Each 2-page graphic organizer has space for the following information about each president: Picture, Important people in their lives, Childhood (how and when did they grow up?), Education & career, Fast facts (lifespan, terms in office, and political party), Challenges they faced, Major life events, Where are/were they from? (includes mapping component), Accomplishments, Personal characteristics,, What lesson(s) can you learn from them?, Quote(s), Fun fact(s), Resources where you can learn more

U.S. Presidents Interactive Fan

Students focus on finding relevant information related to each president's lifespan, political party, term(s), key events, accomplishments, and challenges. These fans are interactive, student-friendly, promote comprehension, keep students organized, are self-paced, look great, promote creativity, and are easy to collect and assess. For maximum durability, I recommend printing them on card stock, but regular printer paper works just fine as well. Clear directions for assembling the fan are included.

U.S. Presidents Trifold Graphic Organizers

These brochures are perfect for integrating literacy into other subjects, especially social studies. Each trifold brochure has space for the following information about each figure: Picture, Lifespan, Presidential term, Political party, Important people in their lives, Childhood (how and when did they grow up?), Education & career, Challenges they faced, Major life events (includes timeline component), Where are/were they from? (includes mapping component), Accomplishments, Personal characteristics, What lesson(s) can you learn from them?, What set them apart from others who lived during their time, Quote(s), Fun fact(s), Glossary/Words to Know, Resources where you can learn more
