The Star-Spangled Banner Mini Unit

This mini-study seeks to provide a history of Independence Day and our national anthem – The Star- Spangled Banner.

We all anticipate and enjoy the festivities that come with the Fourth of July celebrations, but do we, and our children, understand the significance of this holiday? Do we truly appreciate the reason behind the day off and fireworks? This guide provides the opportunity to thoughtfully teach the history and importance of Independence Day and the national anthem.

The holiday and the national anthem will be studied in the rhythm of: learn, read, do, discussion/narration, and Gospel connection.

In the lesson, the goal is to have your children understand the holiday's history and its importance to national identity.

Each lesson includes assigned reading, poetry, picture study, activity, and discussion/narration. 

Written for ages 3-12, with discussion questions designed for 8+
