We all know George Washington said, "I cannot tell a lie," when he cut down a cherry tree (not true, by the way), but since today is President's Day (the third Monday of February), show your kids your smarts by quizzing them on what some other Presidents are known for. Thomas Jefferson was into archaelogy. James Madison had a pet parrot named Polly. Andrew Jackson was the only president to be held as a prisoner of war. John Tyler was the first president to serve without being elected (after William Harrison's untimely death). James Buchanan kept an eagle as a pet. Abraham Lincoln created the Secret Service hours before he was assassinated. Chester Arthur liked fashion so much he kept a closet filled with 80 pairs of pants. Howard Taft got stuck in a bathtub while in the White House. Herbert Hoover donated his salary to charity. George Bush was knighted by the Queen of England. Bill Clinton played the saxophone while in office. Share some of these, and your kiddos will think you're the President of the Class. (Get it ... president of the class?)
