Plan a field trip to a historical American site like the Hall of Independence in Philadelphia or the Capitol building in Washington, DC. If it is not feasible, consider a trip to your closest U.S. history museum, state capitol building or a founding fathers' home. While taking a tour, be sure to ask the tour guide lots of questions about the founding fathers and what they accomplished. Watch history come alive through historical documents and monuments erected to the memory of such great men as George Washington.
Hang posters of the founding fathers in your child's bedroom. Label each one with the person's name and explain to your child what major influence the man had on launching our country.
Allow your children to educate themselves about the founding fathers using online quizzes and games. These are provided by federal and state websites geared toward teaching children about civics.
Tell your child a true, historical story at bedtime about the founding fathers and their quest to create a safe place for freedom and liberty. Consider George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River or Paul Revere's ride to warn that the British were coming. Read up on each person before you begin your story so you can accurately portray a detailed picture of what each man was like physically. For example, John Adams was a pudgy man with a large ego. Providing unusual and amusing details this will help children remember each man.
