Constitution Jeopardy

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Although just a quick review of general information learned about the Constitution and U.S. government, this presentation could be used as a fun activity before the beginning of a class lesson, or as an independent experience. The presentation covers information about the Constitution, Articles of Confederation, and the branches of government. It could also be used by teachers as an assessment tool.
