iCivics- iCivics works to ensure every student in America receives a quality and engaging civic education through interactive games that transform abstract concepts into real-life problems.

Interactive Civics Games!
iCivics' growing collection of free online video games offers students and parents the opportunity to "play" with civic skills and knowledge. Argue a Supreme Court case, command the executive branch, help clients understand their constitutional rights. At iCivics, students are placed in the driver's seat and immersed in an interactive experience without ever leaving their location. Each game takes approximately 30+ minutes to play and is recommended for students in grades 5-12. Looking for more fun ways to play? Check out our Game Odyssey! 

Civics Projects 
iCivics County Solutions unit is a free lesson-based civics project that students can complete at their own pace. Students select a community issue, problem, or concern that they'd like to solve or improve, examine the broad context of their issue—including the role of county and other levels of government—and focus on bringing about local change using strategies tailored to their individual issues. We've broken down the project into nine manageable steps for students in grades 6-8 and ten more research-intensive steps for high school students, with one lesson per step. This project-based unit is perfect for troops and girls working to earn their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Awards. Sign up for a free iCivics Parent or Educator account to access the resources.
