Grab these fun Patriotic Activity Pages (FREE) for a fun red, white, and blue learning experience for preschoolers.
I love to use patriotic holidays, such as the Fourth of July, Veterans Day, and Flag Day, as an opportunity to teach my children about our country’s history, culture, and the symbolism behind these celebrations.
🇺🇸 What’s Included in the Free Patriotic Activity Pack?
I have included eight pages of FREE activity sheets in this download.
The pages feature patriotic symbols and emblems, such as the bald eagle, the American flag, and the Statue of Liberty, all of which are age-appropriate for toddlers and preschool-age children to learn about.
Patriotic Color-By-Number Sheets
The download includes three color-by-number pages. A bald eagle, the Statue of Liberty, and the American flag are featured as color-by-number activities.
The graphics are divided into sections and numbered, with each number having a corresponding color.
Have your preschoolers follow the instructions to color each section properly.
Patriotic Tracing Page
I’ve also included a Pledge of Allegiance tracing page for your little learners to practice their handwriting.
It’s not only a fun fine motor skills activity but also an excellent opportunity for you to introduce new vocabulary words like pledge, allegiance, and republic.
This activity helps young children begin to understand the meaning behind the words they may hear during patriotic events or morning routines.
Below is a list of American symbols to teach your little learners about, accompanied by brief and age-appropriate descriptions.
- American Flag – The national flag of the United States, commonly called the stars and stripes.
- The Bald Eagle – The National Bird of the United States of America represents strength and bravery.
- Statue of Liberty – Symbol of Freedom and Democracy. Also known as Lady Liberty, the statue stands tall in New York and was a gift from France to the United States.
- The Liberty Bell – A symbol of freedom that used to be rung before major events. The Liberty Bell is located in Pennsylvania.
- The Pledge of Allegiance – A promise of loyalty to the United States and its flag.
More Ideas for Teaching American Symbols to Preschoolers
- Read picture books about the Statue of Liberty, the American flag, and Americans who played a key role in establishing American symbols like Abe Lincoln and the Lincoln Memorial or Betsy Ross.
- Sing Classic Patriotic songs like America the Beautiful and The National Anthem.
- Use construction paper to create American-themed crafts, or make red, white, and blue sensory rice for hours of engaging sensory play.
- Whip up an iconic American dish, like apple pie or cheesesteak.
- Discuss America’s heroes, including those who serve our country in the armed forces, as firefighters, or policemen.
I hope you and your little learners enjoy these fun, easy-to-use activity pages!
