While heading back to school after a great summer is not a real “holiday,” it is a great reason to celebrate. Back
to school means that kids are growing up, heading off for new adventures and learning more. Having a back to
school party is a great idea, especially for kids that are going to school for the very first time or moving to a new
school. Throw a Back to School party for your kids and show them how fun school can be.
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.
Mother’s Day was celebrated first, and then someone decided that dad needed his special day, too. The first
father’s day was celebrated in June 1910 and the popularity has grown through the years. Now we celebrate
Father’s Day to remember dad and to tell him how much he means to the family. Families often get together to
celebrate with barbeques and a fun day hanging out together.
Mother’s Day has been celebrated in the United States for about 150 years. Originally called
“Mother’s Work Day”, this day was first celebrated to raise awareness for poor health
conditions. Because mothers are often the best advocates for health, this soon became a day to
celebrate the mother. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated to show mom how much you care and
love her. It is celebrated on the second Sunday of May.
Besides Christmas, Easter is one of the most popular Christian holidays. On this day, Christians celebrate the
resurrection of Jesus after his death. During the Civil War period, Easter became a popular holiday that families
would find comforting and spiritual. They began celebrating the holiday on a regular basis. Today, many
families celebrate Easter to mark the resurrection of Jesus. Traditionally, families go to an Easter church
service, will hold an egg hunt for the children and will gather for a meal.
