A couple years ago, I wrote about what Memorial Day was like when I was a child.  It was more than a three-day weekend filled with gatherings and grillings. It was a day of remembrance.

Beverly Hernandez, Guide to Homeschooling, has a wonderful history of Memorial Day. Did you know it started as Decoration Day after the Civil War?  You and your children might enjoy taking Beverly's quiz on Memorial Day to see how much you know about it.

 

The kids might also enjoy some Memorial Day puzzles as well as some other fun activities with a Memorial Day theme.
