How much do you know about presidents of the United States? Did you know the following facts?

Which president had the most kids?

Our 10th president, John Tyler, had the most children. Color the squares with even numbers RED and the odd-numbered squares BLUE to reveal the answer.

First Presidential Email

In 1994, President Bill Clinton was the first president to send an email while in office. He sent it to an astronaut who was in space at the time. Use the code to discover the name of the astronaut.

President Tailor?

“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot,” he told the stunned audience. “I give you my word, I do not care a rap about being shot; not a rap.”

He completed the 90-minute speech with the bullet still lodged in his chest. Afterwards he went to the doctor and survived the attempt on his life.

President Roosevelt had many nicknames. As you complete each math problem below, those with even-numbered answers reveal one of his nicknames. The ones with odd-numbered answers are not.

The “S” in President Harry S. Truman’s name doesn't stand for anything. Unable to decide on a middle name for over a month, his parents settled on the letter “S” in honor of his maternal grandfather, Solomon Young, and his paternal grandfather, Anderson Shipp Truman.

Andrew Johnson, our 17th president, was trained as a tailor in his youth. He continued to make his own suits—even while president. Can you find the two identical suits?

Race a friend to see which alligator can reach dinner rst!

President Herbert Hoover’s son had two pet alligators, which were sometimes allowed to run loose throughout the White House. Hoover was our 31st president. Ambidextrous Super Power!

Presidential Cheer

During his senior year of high school at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., George W. Bush, who would become the nation’s 43rd president, was captain of the cheerleading team.

Wrestling West Winger

Celebrate Our Presidents

Ambidextrous means the ability to write with both hands. Not only was our 20th president ambidextrous, he could write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other at the same time. Hold this page up to a mirror to read this president’s name.

Not for President Harrison!

Benjamin Harrison, our 23rd president, was the first president to have this in the White House. However, he was so scared of it—he never used it! What was it? The letters along the correct path on the maze spell the answer.

Our 16th president is one of our most celebrated. But not a lot of people know that he was a wrestler. In 300 matches, he only lost one. He is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame with the honor of “Outstanding American.”

Circle every other letter to reveal this president’s name.

Photos: WhiteHouse.gov

Look through the newspaper to see how your community is celebrating Presidents Day. If you don’t find much, write a letter to the editor with your ideas on how the day could be celebrated in your community.

the words by

What do you think Roosevelt’s nicknames say about him?

What would you do? How would you spend your days? Why would you want to be president?
