Why the Fourth

On 4 July 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. The vote to break from Britain had actually taken place two days earlier, and John Adams expected the 2nd to be the date Americans remembered, with parades, bells and "illuminations" from one end of the country to the other. He got the celebration right and the day wrong. Congress made the Fourth a federal holiday in 1870.

What's in the word lists

The 4th of July pack has 20 puzzles. Half of it is the history: COLONY, REVOLUTION, DECLARATION, CONSTITUTION, the MUSKET and CANNON, and the FIFE and DRUM that marched alongside them. The other half is the day as most people know it, with a BARBECUE on the GRILL, a PICNIC, a PARADE, SPARKLER and FIREWORKS, and Uncle Sam under the STARS and STRIPES.

For the long weekend

A quick puzzle fills the hour before the fireworks start, and it travels well to a cookout or a camping trip if you print a few sheets. For a summer school or a history lesson, the Quick and Easy boards are a gentle way into words like LIBERTY and PATRIOT.
