A 2016 study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that a mere 26 percent of Americans could name all three branches of the federal government. By the same token, 33 percent of Americans couldn’t name any of the three branches. Now, if three-quarters of adults don’t know the three federal government branches, it’s unlikely they have a firm grasp of their proper roles.

We have been studying the different types of government that can be found around the world today and throughout history. The most common include, Anarchy, Monarchy, Dictatorship, Oligarchy, Theocracy, Democracy, and Republic. In order to better understand these systems, we first applied hand motions to them (See THIS post to watch these in action), created a flip book with their definitions, and finally, ACTED them out with GUMMY BEARS! I got the idea for this off of a pinterest picture and decided that it could make a great review activity! Students worked with a partner to create their system of government "scene" acted out by the gummy bears. Once we had recreated the system of government, we drew a matching picture in our flip charts (either of the gummy bears or stick figures). The kiddos REALLY had a great time with this activity and I felt that it helped them solidify the different systems since they were having to create the definition in a visual way. It was SO cute listening to their ideas for how to make the system. Here are a few of my favorite depictions. Oligarchy - ruled by a rich and powerful few Monarchy - notice the "gummy" throne! This group created a voting booth for their Republic depiction :0) To see more of what we do during my Government Unit, Visit THIS post and THIS post. Here are more Government Activities:
