Are you looking for more than just simple coloring pages? Elevate your February lesson plans with our comprehensive Presidents Day Activity Packet. Unlike standard worksheets, this free PDF bundle integrates Math, Literacy, and Social Studies into engaging, hands-on tasks.
Designed for varied skill levels (Transition Kindergarten to 1st Grade), this packet allows students to practice counting up to 20, reading vocabulary words, and writing complete sentences—all while celebrating George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
What is Inside This Math & Literacy Packet?
This 5-page downloadable file is packed with interactive content. Here is a breakdown of the skills covered:
1. Math: Cherry Tree Counting (Numbers 1-20)
Students will count the cherries on the tree and the ground to find the total. Using the double ten-frames at the bottom, they can visually represent numbers up to 20. This is a step up from basic counting.

2. Literacy: Presidents Day Word Search
This puzzle is tailored for beginning readers. It features essential vocabulary such as “Vote,” “Flag,” and “Leader.” We have included picture clues to help younger students identify the words, making it a perfect introduction to word searches.
3. Social Studies: Cut & Paste Sorting
Interactive learning is key! In this activity, children identify symbols related to Lincoln (Top Hat, Penny) and Washington (Quarter, Flag). They must cut, sort, and paste them into the correct columns.

4. Writing: “If I Were President” Prompt
This creative writing sheet invites students to draw a self-portrait in a presidential frame and write about their leadership goals. The primary lines support proper handwriting development.

- Advanced Kindergarten: For students who have mastered basic counting and are starting to read.
- 1st Grade: Perfect for morning work, literacy centers, or homework packets.
- Homeschoolers: A complete “mini-unit” in one file.
