I began by explaining that this section of the Constitution had words in it that even most adults didn’t know. Instead of playing as written above, we had the kids think up a single definition for each term and then quiz their father to see if he could correctly identify the real from the fake.

I had a wide range of ages 4 to 16..and although I was gearing it more to my older kids ALL of my kids were totally into it. The activities were fun (and funny) for all involved and learning happened on all levels. I also found out one of my kids thought we were a democracy! We were able to have a great discussion and teach some things I assumed my children already knew but they didn’t!
