From the maker of the card game (The Classical Historian):
Playing with our “Go Fish Games” makes learning the Constitution MORE fun! Playing our games helps create a positive learning environment, teaches facts Americans need to know, and teaches Civics. The Constitution Go Fish Game is a perfect way to begin or end class or to add to a long car ride. Students and families love this game and will know the Constitution, especially if used with our booklet explanations.
There are Two Versions of Play in each Go Fish Game:
A. Go Fish
B. Collect the Cards
In Go Fish, players try to get “four of a kind” by finding all four cards in one category. In playing this game, players learn association and chronology. Players try to collect all four-of-a-kind cards from the following categories. The player who captures most sets wins.
In Collect the Cards, students learn Constitutional concepts and try to guess the card based on hints. Whoever guesses the most cards right wins the game.
The booklet provides the teacher with a wide variety of games to teach the U.S. Constitution to kids in a one-on-one setting, in a family with kids of different ages, or in classrooms with 40 students. It also includes explanations for all 48 Constitution Go Fish Games. The more students play the game and read the booklet, the more they understand the Constitution.
