United States Government Game

Covering 150 facts, The United States Government Game offers a fun alternative to textbooks and worksheets. As students enjoy the game format, they review important knowledge about the government of the United States, their role in that government, and their rights as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. This unique educational game complements the Living in the United States series.

HOW THE GAME WORKS Players roll the die to move around the game board. When a player lands on a square, he or she draws a Draw Card from the appropriate pile. If the player draws a "Which Branch?" card, he or she must identify in which branch of government an official belongs. If the player draws a "Checks and Balances" card, he or she must answer a question about the checks and balances of the three branches of government. If the player draws a "Wild Card," he or she will answer a random question about the government.
