As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Eagle Forum of Alabama is launching the America 250 Family Challenge: a year-long, month-by-month journey to rediscover the ideas, courage, and convictions that shaped our nation and prepare our families to joyfully celebrate America’s extraordinary heritage. This challenge is designed to strengthen families, spark meaningful conversations, and remind us why America’s founding principles are not only worth celebrating, but they are also worth defending.
Each month, we’ll post on our website, a downloadable, fun, meaningful activity packet designed to spark conversation, curiosity, and connection. These challenges are meant to be enjoyed around the dinner table, during homeschool time, or on a quiet evening together, no prep required and no pressure to do everything at once.
Every monthly packet will include:
- A new theme highlighting a key founding principle
- A short reading with engaging discussion questions
- Hands-on games inspired by those colonial families once played
- A word search and coloring page for younger children
- And more
Our goal is simple: to help families rekindle their love for America, deepen their appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy, and pass these values on to the next generation in a way that feels natural, joyful, and memorable.
New packets will be released one month at a time, so families can focus on one theme and enjoy the journey together.
