Match the Presidents' Portraits

Make flashcards out of these portraits and then see how fast can you match each President's portrait with a kid's drawing.

Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12

We asked kids across the country to choose their favorite president and draw a portrait of him for Scholastic Book Clubs "Picture a President" Drawing Contest. The response was overwhelming.

In the portrait gallery, below, we've matched the kids' portrait with a portrait of the President that inspired them. The artists' names are listed below the portraits.

For a challenging concentration game, print out this page and cut out the portraits to make flashcards. How fast can you match up the presidential portraits?
