Each of the powers granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution are written in the boxes on the worksheet. Color code each box to show which entity of the government has the specific power mentioned. Youll have to consult the Constitution for the answers. To read through the whole Constitution and discuss it can take many hours. We recommend you break this up into several days. We chose to use yellow for the House of Representatives and red for the Senate. You could also just have one color for the legislative branch. Blue shows the executive branch. Green is the judicial branch. You can choose whatever colors you like. As you read the Constitution together, find the powers listed in it and color them according to which branch has that power. The Senate and the House of Representatives often share powers and so when we colored we divided those boxes into two parts. If you like, you can obtain and print portraits of each of the people currently in office to paste into the boxes. Images should be about 80×100 pixels and can be re-sized with photo editing software or using Microsoft Paint. Step 3: Show What You Know Use the completed worksheet to teach the powers that each part of the government has to someone else, like your dad or your little brother.
