Inside: Check out this FREE Memorial Day activity page. It’s a meaningful boredom buster, as well as a way for your kids to work on fine motor, gross motor, bilateral coordination, and visual perceptual skills.
In my family, we regard Memorial Day with the utmost respect, given that my spouse is a veteran. So, it was important for me to come up with a meaningful activity for my kids that engages and educates them.
The common perception of Memorial Day often revolves around barbecues and celebrations, but its true purpose is far more profound. This holiday was established to remember and honor the brave people who lost their lives serving in the military.
To maintain this respectful perspective and provide an educational resource, I put together bite-size, printable facts about Memorial Day. They can serve as a reminder of the day’s true significance and provide both an informative and reflective experience.
However, in addition to the informative aspect, I also wanted to incorporate a fun, quick activity that children could enjoy independently. And now, finally, I’m excited to share this 5-Minute Memorial Day Activity page with you.
Memorial Day Activity Page
It offers five unique activities that are not only fun but also stimulate children’s minds. One of my favorites on this page is the star breathing exercise. As you know, the star is an important American symbol. Plus, most of us don’t breathe properly, so it’s a good exercise for kids that is similar to how Navy Seals do it.
The activities I’ve included, such as bilateral tracing exercises, help enhance your child’s brain coordination between the hemispheres. There’s also a quick military-style BootCamp, a coloring task, and a connect-the-dots challenge.
You can print and give it to your children or make it even more fun by setting a timer for five minutes and challenging kids to finish all activities before the timer goes off.
