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

Game pieces look best printed in color, but it is not necessary to play a successful matching game
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
