This was a great way to assess student understanding of the branches of government. I did it independently, but it could have been easily done in groups or walk-around stations for each question.

I love these color by code activities for Social Studies. Students need to read informational text, answer questions, and highlight text evidence within the text. My students are usually actively engaged in this activity, especially when they do it with a partner.

Was a very good resource. Made the students slow down and think about things. Also they’re never too old to color. They really enjoyed the break from “normal” learning.
