Making this Autograph Coin booklet is a fun way to do that.  Run off copies for all of your students, or simply make one for yourself and share your teacher’s copy with them. presidents day ideas, presidents day activities, presidents day centers, presidents day booklet, coin booklet, coin activities, coin centers, penny booklet, nickel booklet, dime booklet, quarter booklet, money booklet, teaching about coins, teaching about money, math centers, autograph book,I was fascinated with the President’s signatures.

Washington and Jefferson wrote with feather quills.  Set up a center activity where students write their name with a feather-dipped in paint.

I did this for a Constitution Day activity and have a template for that. Click on the link to view/download the quill page from Activities For Constitution Day.

To get some name writing practice in, include an extra page with the booklet and have students collect some autographs of their friends, or to expedite things, have each student sign one paper, and  run off copies for everyone, entitled Your Classmate’s Autographs.
