Ben’s Guide to U.S. Government

— Government Printing Office

K-11 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://bensguide.gpo.gov/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:47 share

How It Works

Here’s an introduction to American government that even the youngest students can appreciate. Divided into four grade levels, the site explains the structure and purpose of American government in age-appropriate terms for everyone from Kindergarteners to high school students. For example, there are four interactive games for your primary students (grades k-2)that make learning about our government fun. Have students learn states’ locations by placing them on the map. Color the USA flag, help Ben Franklin out of a maze, or find your way around the liberty bell. There are also age-specific activities divided into grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

In the Classroom

With younger grades, use an interactive whiteboard or projector to learn the states’ locations with the entire group. This simple site would be great to use in your computer center for individual learning or for some indoor recess enrichment fun. Secondary teachers looking for more than the basics will want to supplement this site with other resources. There is a link for parents and teachers, be sure to take a look!

How It Works

FInd biographical informtion about every past American President.

In the Classroom

Use this site as a point of reference for information about our Presidents. Students could use this site as a spring board for research projects, or historical heads. For historical heads, have students draw inside of a blank outline of a human face graphic representations of the president chosen for their project. Students should be able to describe and explain all representations, but it’s a great way for them to organize their ideas and provide more memorable symbols for facts that they need to know.
