Understanding the Pledge of Allegiance

The Pledge of Allegiance has been part of American classrooms for over a century, but many students don’t know how it came to be or what its words truly mean.

While the printable introduces the basics, here’s a closer look at its history and purpose:

  • It was originally written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy as part of a school celebration for Columbus Day.
  • The phrase “under God” was added in 1954, sparking debates that still come up in civics lessons today.
  • Each line was carefully chosen to promote unity and reflect American values like liberty and justice.

This background can help older kids reflect more deeply while they color or copy the pledge.
