These Free April Lessons for Holidays and Special Days is a Comprehensive List of Special Holidays for Teachers and Homeschoolers. Includes a free printable calendar.
Holidays and special days can be a fun way to study different subjects. This post is full of Free April Lessons for Holidays and Special Days to help you plan.
April includes 73 holidays and well over 750 links to explore them!
Believe it or not, I haven’t even listed all of the special days out there! There are a TON! Many have no interest to children or homeschoolers but I did find a whole bunch!
I have combed the internet for articles, videos, activities, recipes and lesson plans to go along with the special days that I found. They are listed under each date with its special day.
You will see many places throughout the blog where I point out “Squirrel Appreciation Day” or “National Pancake Day”. There are many posts made just for such special days.
I tried to give a blend of videos and reading links so you can choose which you like best—or use them all!
I debated as to whether to include as many foods as I did but then wondered how many know where quinoa comes from. How potatoes are harvested and stored. What Brussels Sprouts look like as they grow. How artichokes grow. So I thought it was very worth including these common-and maybe not so common-foods that we see. Maybe it will make you curious enough to try something new! Plus, it is always neat to see where our food comes from!
Free Printable
I have provided a free printable so you can check off or highlight the holidays you have studied. That way, it will be easy to see next year which ones you want to aim for. You will still need to keep this post handy for the links though. I will keep them updated.
Note that special days with changeable days (i.e. “the third Monday” will be in the blank squares at the end of the month. They will have their dates noted there.

How to use the Special Days Below
A small holiday can make a regular day special. Even if you use a traditional curriculum, you can easily add many of these special days to your week or month.
With this list, you can choose to use a large unit study to study a subject for several weeks or quickly grab a YouTube link and article to get a good overview of a subject in minutes! It is up to you!
This post will make it quick and easy to add an educational video, article or game about a subject on a special day.
Look ahead to the next week to see if you want to grab a special grocery item. (i.e. you can’t celebrate National Oreo Day without Oreos! 😊)
Obviously, you won’t celebrate all of these in one month. This large list is meant to give you plenty of options to choose your favorite foods, animals, authors, historical events, etc. to learn more about. It will also last several years. What you don’t get to do this year will be there next year to choose from.
Pin or save the post so you can come back to it later!
Benefits of Unit Studies
Many of the resources below are for unit studies. Benefits of unit studies are;
They can be used for a wide variety of ages. That makes preparing for multiple ages simpler and everyone can learn together.
You can do a surface study or dig deep to get every fact out of a subject. It can totally depend on the interest level of your child.
They can be done very inexpensively. A lot of the resources can be gotten right here on the internet and in this post.
You can spend a day or a month or any amount of time between. Use however much time you have.
You often find other subjects that interest someone along the way. For example, a study on birds can easily go into a study into how flight works.
Videos
YouTube videos have the time it will take to watch it after the title so you can plan accordingly before you even click on it. That will also be your indication that it is a video.
I tried to choose very carefully so there was nothing objectionable for children in the videos. Feel free to let me know if you see something I should remove or make a note about. I did note a few animal ones that show a dead animal so they can be avoided if needed. I know that is upsetting to some.
Dates will be updated each year
Most holidays are the same day every year like Christmas is December 25th. Others change because they are on the third Monday of the month, for example. Those will vary from year to year.
I will update those every year and make a note at the top of the list that the dates are current.
The dates below are current for 2026.
