iCivics Games
What is iCivics?
From the About page: iCivics (formerly Our Courts) is a web-based education project designed to teach students civics and inspire them to be active participants in our democracy. iCivics is the vision of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is concerned that students are not getting the information and tools they need for civic participation, and that civics teachers need better materials and support. You can download the handout (.pdf), see What is iCivics in Prezi by Jeff Curley, or visit the iCivics and explore on your own.
A special section for teachers to search or browse curriculum units via games, web quests, lesson plans and by state, grade, and state standards. Below is the brief description of the games with links organized by topic. From the site you can select the topic or time tab.
You can register (with your Facebook account or email) and save your progress, educators can create accounts and share lessons, or you can opt out and just play and explore. You also have an option to make and impact and donate your points to an impact project.
