4th of July – Independence Day

1. Free from Sin: Independence Day celebrates the freedom of the United States from British rule. You can tie
this lesson into a bible lesson by talking about sin. Use this day to celebrate an independence from sin. Talk
about the Ten Commandments and how these relate to the children’s’ lives.
2. Hard Work: It took years of hard work to gain our country’s independence. The founding fathers took months
to write the constitution and declare independence. This is a good lesson for children. Talk about how hard
work and perseverance pays off.
3. Patriotism: It is important to love the country. Show the children the correct way to salute the flag and recite
the Pledge of Allegiance.
