Activities to do with Your Children this Summer, the 250th anniversary of Liberty in the United States

About this episode

This episode discusses summer activities for children, focusing on the 250th anniversary of Independence Day and the importance of teaching history and civics.

Our most popular topic: activities to do with your children this summer. This year, we focus primarily on activities that go with our 250 anniversary of Independence Day. It was to Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powell, a Quaker "hostess with the mostess," that Benjanim Franklin said, "A republic, if you can keep it." Whether we have the intelligence and character to keep a democratic republic as opposed to some form of slavery is very much in question. What we can do as mothers is to be sure that our children know history and have some exposure to proper civics. freedom250.org Lots of ideas. Please contribute some more. An example: learning about Richard Henry Lee, founder. https://x.com/publicschoolext/status/2062677814802059437
