Abstract
The young child learns patriotism through music; art; games; and dramatic activities. Concepts in history (names; dates; events) geography; and civics are introduced through specific activities. The media are used as a source of information. Art activities; listening to original stories; musical activities; pantomime; and role playing provide opportunities for creativity development. Methods for interrelating the various subjects are detailed. Cognitive goals include: (1) the name and location of the United States; (2) why the Revolutionary War was fought; (3) the purpose of the U.S. Constitution; (4) the names of the founding fathers; (5) how life during the colonial era has influenced life today; (6) general facts about the presidents; (7) how people choose the U.S. president; (8) the flag as symbol of the United States; (9) how the government issues money and stamps; and (10) the Fourth of July as the nation's birthday. A bibliography is appended. (SM)
