Fun and Informative President’s Day Apps




Techlicious - With President’s Day approaching, many preschools and classrooms will explore a handful of U.S. Presidents with stories, songs and reports. For parents looking for homework help, or to inspire kids with presidential examples beyond George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, you can take your young learner on a fun and educational meet-and-greet with the 44 U.S. Presidents.

 

Presidents vs. Aliens

Who wouldn’t want the chance to defend the Earth from aliens? There’s a section for learning via flashcards about the presidents, but the real fun begins when quizzed about the material in order to earn president heads that you can fling at alien invaders ala Angry Birds. There are two other gaming opportunities: “Heads of State” where you choose the correct president head floating in space to answer a question, and “Executive Order” where you put the presidents in correct order.
