John F. Kennedy for Kids is a great video that discusses the life of one of the country's most popular presidents. He was born at the end of May in 1917, and he was the second of nine children. Growing up, he was often sick and even battled a sever case of scarlet fever when he was only three years old. But he worked really hard and had lots of help to get better.

At age 19, he enrolled in Harvard University and focused on history and government. He graduated college and then joined the Navy. Once there, he immediately distinguished himself when he earned a purple heart and became a war hero after the boat he commanded was destroyed. He gained the nickname of JFK, which is often what people refer to him as.

After the war, JFK pursued politics and ran for office as a Democrat. He first served in the House of Representatives and then in the senate of Massachusetts. He married Jacqueline Bouvier and had two living children. John F. Kennedy ran for president with Lyndon B. Johnson as his VP. And he won! He became the youngest person ever elected, and the first Catholic, to the office of president.

JFK was a huge supporter of the civil rights movement and wanted to pass more laws that guaranteed equal rights for people. Sadly, he was assassinated in 1963, less than three years after he was elected. Despite his short presidency, his legacy lives on. His call for peace, justice, and equality are still important today.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the youngest president of the United States! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

North Korea is one of the most isolated and closed off countries in the world. Its official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The country is roughly the size of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. And its total population is estimated to be around 25 million people. In All about North Korea for Kids, you will learn a lot more about this country, even though it's not easy to visit.

The government in North Korea is communist, meaning that it controls the lives of most of its citizens, even down to people's haircut! There are only 28 approved haircuts, so every citizen must choose from that list which hair style they want. Citizens can also be arrested for watching certain movies or practicing certain religions. They are also not allowed to talk about ideas that go against the government.

The government also controls the media and news. Propaganda, or news that makes the country look good, is common in the country, and there is no internet access. In fact, most North Koreans have never even seen a computer. Additionally, few people are allowed to leave the country, and only a few people are allowed to visit. Those individuals can only see approved parts of North Korea and are watched closely.

When Japan lost the war in World War II, the Soviets gained control of northern half of the Korean peninsula, so North Korea became a communist country. The Americans controlled the southern half, so South Korea became a democratic country. When the Soviets left in 1948, many conflicts between the two Korean countries arose. After a resulting Korean war, the same family has maintained control of North Korea and kept it isolated from the world.

In our video Thanksgiving for Kids, you will learn about the history of our very first "Thanksgiving" and how the holiday as we know it today became official.

The story of the first Thanksgiving is quite different from the holiday we celebrate today. When you hear the word Thanksgiving the first thing you may think about is turkey, or maybe the Fall or football, or perhaps you look forward to a couple of days off from school. In the 1600s, the first Thanksgiving had nothing to do with turkey, football, or school. It did take place during the Fall, and there was a feast shared by many people.

Thanksgiving is an annual celebration and a national holiday which commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621. In the United States, it is held on the fourth Thursday in November. It is often remembered by religious observances
and a traditional meal, which today includes turkey. The present Thanksgiving holiday did not become official until 1863.

Before that time, three different presidents beginning with Washington tried to make it a national holiday, but it was limited to state observances and celebrations. However, many people believed that Thanksgiving should become a national holiday. Sarah Josepha Hale, an editor of a popular women’s magazine campaigned to make it a national holiday again. Finally, in 1863 President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving as a holiday to give thanks for “general blessings”.

Since that time America has celebrated Thanksgiving every year with a traditional meal, often with family and friends, and giving thanks for their blessings.

Imagine having to hide in a secret hidden room to protect yourself and your family. That's what Anne Frank and her family had to do during World War II. In this video for kids, you will learn a lot about Anne Frank, an incredible individual who endured unimaginable suffering like so many other Jewish people during this time in history.

Anne Frank was born in Germany in 1929 to Otto and Edith Frank. She also had a sister named Margot. Otto's family, who was Jewish, had lived in Germany for many generations. Because Adolph Hitler, who hated Jews, gained control of the German government, the Franks had to move to the Netherlands. For a few years, life was pretty normal, but the family was unable to escape to the United States or England before the war started in 1939 and before the war spread to the Netherlands.

Jewish people had to endure immense persecution over the next couple years. There was always a threat of being sent to concentration camps. The Frank family decided to go into hiding. Otto, his family, and some friends moved to a secret annex in 1942, when Anne was just 13 years old. They lived there for a couple years, and Anne started writing a diary about her experiences. She hoped one day to publish it as The Secret Annex and become a famous writer.

Unfortunately, Anne Frank and her family were discovered in August of 1944 and arrested. They were sent to concentration camps a month later. Anne and her sister died of typhus in March of 1945, just two months before the end of the war. Of all the individuals who lived in the secret annex, Otto was the only one to survive. Miep Gies, a woman who had hidden Anne's diary when the Franks were arrested, gave the diary to Otto, who published it under the title The Secret Annex. Anne's wish came true—she became a famous writer whose book has sold over 30 million copies and been translated into 70 languages.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Anne Frank! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

North Korea is one of the most isolated and closed off countries in the world. Its official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The country is roughly the size of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. And its total population is estimated to be around 25 million people. In All about North Korea for Kids, you will learn a lot more about this country, even though it's not easy to visit.

The government in North Korea is communist, meaning that it controls the lives of most of its citizens, even down to people's haircut! There are only 28 approved haircuts, so every citizen must choose from that list which hair style they want. Citizens can also be arrested for watching certain movies or practicing certain religions. They are also not allowed to talk about ideas that go against the government.

The government also controls the media and news. Propaganda, or news that makes the country look good, is common in the country, and there is no internet access. In fact, most North Koreans have never even seen a computer. Additionally, few people are allowed to leave the country, and only a few people are allowed to visit. Those individuals can only see approved parts of North Korea and are watched closely.

When Japan lost the war in World War II, the Soviets gained control of northern half of the Korean peninsula, so North Korea became a communist country. The Americans controlled the southern half, so South Korea became a democratic country. When the Soviets left in 1948, many conflicts between the two Korean countries arose. After a resulting Korean war, the same family has maintained control of North Korea and kept it isolated from the world.

Mount Rushmore is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. What do you know about the monument and the individuals whose heads you see? In Mount Rushmore for Kids, you and your students will learn about some of the history behind this huge sculpture. You will also discover why the four presidents on its face were chosen to be the subjects of the monument.

Construction for Mount Rushmore began in 1927. Much earlier in 1884, a lawyer from New York named Charles E. Rushmore traveled to South Dakota's Black Hills National Forest. He decided to name the mountain after himself when he learned that it had never been named before. Fast forward to the 1920s: There was some discussion over a period of years about who to sculpt into the mountainside. In the end, the subjects they agreed upon were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt.

It took 14 years to build the monument and required the help of nearly 400 men and women who served in various capacities. They had to endure extreme weather condition and had to climb 700 stairs every day to reach the top of the mountain! An interesting fact you may not know is that 90% of the mountain was carved using dynamite. Despite these dangerous conditions, not one worker died in all 14 years.

You may wonder why those four presidents were chosen. George Washington led the colonists in the American Revolutionary War. He was the "Father of the Country" and the first president. He was chosen to represent birth. Thomas Jefferson was chosen to represent growth because of his role in expanding the size of the U.S. by purchasing the Louisiana Territory. Abraham Lincoln represented the preservation of the nation because of his impact on preserving the Union during the Civil War and abolishing slavery. And finally, Theodore Roosevelt provided leadership when America experienced rapid growth. he also linked the east and west parts of the world through the construction of the Panama Canal. He represented development.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this amazing monument! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Imagine having to hide in a secret hidden room to protect yourself and your family. That's what Anne Frank and her family had to do during World War II. In this video for kids, you will learn a lot about Anne Frank, an incredible individual who endured unimaginable suffering like so many other Jewish people during this time in history.

Anne Frank was born in Germany in 1929 to Otto and Edith Frank. She also had a sister named Margot. Otto's family, who was Jewish, had lived in Germany for many generations. Because Adolph Hitler, who hated Jews, gained control of the German government, the Franks had to move to the Netherlands. For a few years, life was pretty normal, but the family was unable to escape to the United States or England before the war started in 1939 and before the war spread to the Netherlands.

Jewish people had to endure immense persecution over the next couple years. There was always a threat of being sent to concentration camps. The Frank family decided to go into hiding. Otto, his family, and some friends moved to a secret annex in 1942, when Anne was just 13 years old. They lived there for a couple years, and Anne started writing a diary about her experiences. She hoped one day to publish it as The Secret Annex and become a famous writer.

Unfortunately, Anne Frank and her family were discovered in August of 1944 and arrested. They were sent to concentration camps a month later. Anne and her sister died of typhus in March of 1945, just two months before the end of the war. Of all the individuals who lived in the secret annex, Otto was the only one to survive. Miep Gies, a woman who had hidden Anne's diary when the Franks were arrested, gave the diary to Otto, who published it under the title The Secret Annex. Anne's wish came true—she became a famous writer whose book has sold over 30 million copies and been translated into 70 languages.
