REVIEW:
Let Uncle Sam take your students on a tour where they will learn about the 13 colonies, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, the three branches of government, the Bill of Rights, and more. Each stop on the tour provides interactive activities and offsite links to other relevant material and Web sites. Congress for Kids is a great way to extend students learning about the foundations of the federal government and how its actions affect them in a fun and engaging way.
