President’s
Day Coin Activity
Thin
printer paper
Coins
Crayons,
pencils or colored pencils.
Place a coin on a hard surface. Turn the coin so the
picture of a president is facing upward and cover it with the paper. Then rub
the sharpened side of a crayon, pencil or colored pencil over the hidden coin
to make a coin rubbing. The image of the president will appear on the paper.
While the children are working, discuss what traits made
the presidents on the coin a good leader.
Ask if they think that is how God wanted a leader to act.
Abraham Lincoln- Penny (hard work and fairness)
Thomas Jefferson-Nickel (freedom lover, generous)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt-Dime ( Determination, did not
let polio stop him, helped the disadvantaged and poor)
George Washington- Quarter (Honesty and courage.)
John F. Kennedy- Half dollar (Civil rights for all)
