Headbands / Headbandz review game for AP Government Unit 1. Includes key terms from unit 1. I printed on card stock for durability.

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:

They key concepts align to the AP Government CED. I use this activity in my classes each year and students really enjoy it! There are 3 versions of this activity included so you can choose the one that best fits your students. Timed Rotation is best for classes that need some structure and if you have more time constraints Free-Range is best for classes that can work well independently and if you have an odd number of students Rotating circles is best for classes that need the most structure and more transitions See Connections for other units here: Unit 1 Included in this Resource: 50 terms/concepts from Unit 2 aligned to the AP Gov CED (editable PPT) Ready-to-print PDF of the 50 terms Directions for each activity to present to students Student handout to record the connections Teacher notes including objectives, explanation of each activity and it's suggested use, what is needed before/during/after the activity 5 Quick Write prompts to deepen understanding

Marine Hazard Sign: Warning Fire Risk This maritime sign is used by mariners to provide adequate signage on board vessels. Furthermore, some flag states and regulatory organizations require maritime signs on board to be in compliance with the maritime governing regulations. Maritime signs are critical in keeping a vessel's crew safe of any possible hazards, all safety equipment easy to mark, and provide directions on board a vessel. The use of the terms “Danger” “Warning” and “Caution” is determined by the seriousness of the hazard.Danger - a possible fatality Warning - a serious consequence Caution - circumstances to be noted or avoided

"Dream On" takes us on a journey into a world full of surreal wonders and fantastic visions. The series depicts pink elephants in various epochs and within works of old master paintings. However, the inspiration behind these works goes deeper than the colors and forms the eye can perceive.The idea for the "Dream On" series originated from an unusual situation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Austria. When the Austrian government declared that a baby elephant would serve as a unit of measurement for the distance people were supposed to keep, Marlies Plank was fascinated by this whimsical concept. This absurd everyday measure helped her cope with the challenges of the pandemic and find a way to view reality through the lens of creativity.Over time, the artist began to perceive pink baby elephants in her surroundings, becoming a symbol of hope, comfort, and magic in uncertain times. It reminds us that amidst life's challenges, there is always room for dreams and fantasy. Marlies Plank invites us to detach from reality, transcend the limits of the imaginable, and dive into a world where pink elephants fly and our imagination guides us through difficult times. It is an invitation to dream and hope - "Dream On." Editioned with Certificate of Authenticity This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel.
