Do you use Kid President videos to teach community building, language arts, and writing? If not, you should! Kids love them! The opportunities for teaching figurative language, writing dialogue, theme and central message, quotes and using quotation marks, addressing speaking and listening standards, building community, and showing kindness are endless! I’ve put together this fun high engagement video companion to use with ANY Kid President video. It’s loaded with lessons, anchor charts, printables, crafts and 12 different activities to support visual literacy, language arts, writing, and speaking and listening standards. I’ve included detailed lesson plans with objectives, examples, and teacher’s notes for each lesson and activity.
Kindness, empowerment, and inspiration are just a few of the themes in Kid President videos. Integrate these into your teaching and build community in your own classroom or school-wide with the included kindness activities. I’ve even added 3 different bulletin board and hallway displays complete with title lettering and décor elements.
Use these activities throughout the year for a fun and meaningful way to practice as you teach these skills! They are ideal to add to your President’s Day activities too!
