U.S. Government Games

Sheppard Software, a site we use frequently for geography, now has a U.S. Government game. Each game starts with some basic facts on each topic, and then you have to match up the right information.

It's not an in-depth look at U.S. government, but it's a fun introduction.

As you can see in the image above, kids can choose from four games:

  • Checks & Balances
  • Branches of Government
  • Who's Who in the Obama Administration
  • What's What in the Executive Branch

You might also like Sheppard's main U.S. section or their U.S. geography section.

    Thanks for this resource. This is an area I haven't found a way to make interesting for my daughter. Perhaps the online games will help.
