while we're on the subject...

Clip to ScrapBook   
While we're on the subject, has anybody tried role playing the three branches of government with the kids? Getting the kids into groups to do this? I was thinking of having a presidential election first. Then have the kids come up with "laws" for the classroom (legislative branch). The president can veto the "laws" or approve of them. I would allow the Supreme Court to decide if they're fair. I think this would be a great way to reinforce the rules at this point in the year.
