Instructional Ideas

  • Make a homemade gift in the classroom that pupils can take home and give to their fathers
  • Watch the video then lead a grand conversation starting with the video's question 
  • Invite fathers to the classroom for an in-class celebration—eat, play games, and talk 

Classroom Considerations

  • Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June 
  • Be sensitive to those who may not celebrate the holiday for personal reasons

Pros
