For example; Congress - Legislative Branch (Paper) "L" President - Executive Branch (Scissors) "E" Supreme Court - Judicial Branch (Ro

This is a fun, interactive way to review vocabulary in the classroom (All subjects). All you need is dice (one per group). I created this game idea and card many years ago to use in my 7th grade civics classes and the kids absolutely love playing it. My co-workers use it in ELA, Science and Foreign language as well.

Included is a formal letter for parents and/or guardians outlining their role in their child's education, as well as detailing how homework will be graded. Additionally, there is a take-home slip for students to have signed daily by their parents or guardians after each review session. This

Although I use this in both my Civics and History classes, it is an excellent activity for other subjects as well. First, I have two students text a response to my prompt back and forth. Then both rephrase what each other said in the texts. After that, they both summarize my response/comments to the prompt. This really works well in facilitating a deeper understanding of a particular lesson as well as helping the students to recall important information for the future.
