Some of you might find this interesting. Some time ago I got a little perturbed because my grandkids didn't know any Presidents beyond Washington and Lincoln and now with Presidents day I doubt kids will even know them. I forget what grade 4th or 5th one of my teachers had all the presidents in pictures all around the wall about 6 feet high and you didn't get out of that grade without knowing them in order. To this day, I can tell you any President when asked by number or vice versa. I wrote a simple program for them to use to learn this and we didn't do anything fun that summer, no go karts, swimming or any of the usual fun things I like to do with them until they knew them all, they learned pretty quick. I thought I would share the program so you could use it either for your self, your kids or grandkids, give it to your school or whatever, do with as you wish I give you permission. You can download the program at
Download here
It is zipped but just click on setup and it will install at c:\program files\presidents and be in your program list, from there you can make a shortcut and put it on your desktop, if you so choose. The use of the program is really simple. A President will appear at the top left of the screen, just click the box of the number you think he was, at the end it will rate you and in a very short time you will get all of them and amaze your friends.
