About Constitution and Bill of Rights bingo
Constitution and Bill of Rights Bingo covers the document's structure (“Preamble”, “Article I” to “Article III”), the protections in the first ten amendments, later landmarks such as the “Nineteenth Amendment” and “Twenty-sixth Amendment”, and the ratification debate between “Federalists” and “Anti-Federalists”. It suits Constitution Day lessons, eighth-grade US history and high-school government.
44 entries make up this Constitution and Bill of Rights set. With 24 per card, any single one, Rule of law for example, appears on about 55% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 16 of them have it.
The caller reads the 44 entries from a shuffled caller sheet and players mark them; the first complete line (row, column or diagonal) wins.
