Inauguration Day will take place on January 20, 2025. This is a little unit study you can do with your children to mark the day. There is plenty here to do an activity or two each day for the week prior. 

If you are new to learning with unit studies, you will find this post of mine helpful: Create a Homeschool Unit Study.

Inauguration Day Learning Activities

These activities are primarily based on Inauguration Day themed printables and activities in my shop. 

Inauguration Day 2025 Themed Pack – To make it very simple, download the Inauguration Day 2025 Themed Pack. It contains 12 activities you can do with your child or he can do independently. 

KWL – Before starting your mini-unit study, complete the Inauguration Day KWL. Find out what your child knows, what he wants to know, and what he learns in the end. It’s often surprising to discover things children don’t know or misunderstand!

Writing – Use the I Love America! Writing Pages for age-appropriate writing activities. They can be used for copywork, narration, writing a report, or telling a creative story. 

Venn Diagram – Use the President and King Venn Diagram to compare how a president and a king are the same and different.

Geography – Locate and color Washington, D.C. on the United States map. Then use the Washington, D.C. map to mark out the important locations connected to the inauguration.

Math – Determine the distance from your home to Washington, D.C. After calculating the miles, calculate how many hours it would take to travel by car. 

History – Read about the unusual swearing in of President Coolidge in this post: Learning About President Calvin Coolidge.

Art – Design a postage stamp to commemorate the inauguration of the 47th president. 

History – Look up other postage stamps online to see how presidents have been commemorated. 

Biography – Write a short biography about Donald Trump or J.D. Vance using the appropriate page (early elementary or upper grades).

Happy Inauguration Day!
