The United States became the United States of America on the day the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776.
On this day it is typical to do patriotic activities, usually outdoors. Like camping, barbecues, beer, and fireworks with as much red, white, and blue as possible. All with ‘Star-Spangled Banner’, ‘Yankee Doodle’, and ‘God Bless America’ in the background.”
Children often want to be creative with their celebrations. Why not give them ways to keep them busy, while at the same time teaching them science, math, or art? Check out this great overview of fun and educational July 4th activities for kids and grown-ups alike!
