Learn how Presidents' Day evolved from a birthday party for George Washington to a day to celebrate all American presidents. | PBS Teachers

This Presidents’ Day, we invite students and educators to step inside presidential decision-making. Brief the Chief, our interactive history learning game developed in partnership with iCivics, places players in the role of a presidential advisor during pivotal moments from the presidencies of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Designed for classroom use, Brief the Chief helps students learn about the challenges presidents faced and the choices that shaped American history
