Get Your Kids Interested in Government with iCivics!

Today is the big day!  Time to vote!  In celebration of our nation's finest quality, I want to highlight a great site that will help your students understand the different branches of our government and see that the jobs of politicians are not always easy!

Check out iCivics and go to the game section where your students can be immersed in the life of a lawyer in the Supreme Court, a legislator, or even the president!  These are real eye-openers!

As requested

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I was straight out!  But, I did notice that I got a request for websites having to do with the Constitution or citizenship (Thank you, by the way!).

So, here are a few sites for any grade level (one is a repeat from before, but one of the best!):

Ben's Guide to US Government - Contains lots of information and games having to do with learning about our government.

Kids in the House - Information about the House of Representatives from a kid's perspective.

Congress for Kids - Information and games about topics such as balance of power, the constitution, citizenship, and elections.

If YOU were President - A fun game from Scholastic that puts your student in the shoes of a President.


Hope this helps!  Let me know if any of these help you, or if you would like me to keep searching!
