Instructional Ideas
- Copy game pieces on cardstock and laminate for continued use
- Print and display images and background information on a Constitution Day themed bulletin board
- Post game rules where players can easily see and reference them while they are playing
Classroom Considerations

- Check the calendar to confirm the date for the current year's Constitution Day
Pros
- Provides detailed background information for direct instruction
- Game pieces offer real-world pictures and paintings, along with cartoon images
Cons
- The game itself is not too robust in its concept reinforcement
