  • The Our White House Inauguration Celebration Kit for Kids!
    The Our White House Inauguration Celebration Kit for Kids! Created by The National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance for parents, family members, teachers, librarians, and community leaders The National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance has created this Inauguration Celebration Kit to assist all adults who live and work with young people to engage with our kids in informed discussions about the presidency and American government, teach them to think critically, and energize them to learn more about the political process in America—using the presidency and inauguration as the focus. This Kit includes: • Exclusive articles covering such topics as why presidential inaugurations are held on January 20th, the oath of office, inaugural parades, and how Thomas Jefferson's first inauguration helped unite the country following a bitter election battle. • Hands-on activities to use with young people in the classroom or at home, such as ideas for designing a parade float, hosting an inaugural ball for kids, and writing poetry. • Games to engage kids in this year’s inauguration, such as “Inaugural I Spy.” • Discussion questions you can share during class, around the dinner table, and at a club meeting. We invite you to check out the interactive version of this Kit on our education website OurWhiteHouse.org, the online companion to our award-winning anthology Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out (Candlewick Press). Our White House is an incomparable collection of essays, personal accounts, historical fiction, poetry, and a stunning array of original art, offering a multifaceted look at America’s history through the prism of the White House.
