Constitution Day; are you ready?

On September 17th, 1787 the Constitutional Convention delegates final created the document that would become the American Constitution.

This being the case, September 17th is become Constitution Day.  A day when teachers and schools across America reflect, focus, and have some fun teaching about the Constitution. 

Here is funny video from the 1960s Andy Griffith show that pokes fun at Barney.   I hope my students do a better job then Barney.

Okay, here are the TOP 5 awesome Constitution Day resources:
#1:  Everybody loves a game.  This short quiz matches your personality to one of Founders.  I got James Madison - Founder's Game
#2: What to visit Independence Hall, but short the cash?  Then check out this virtual tour put together by Grand Valley State University- Virtual Tour
#3: The interactive Constitution-this allows students to explore the text of the Constitution in a more meaningful way.  Thanks to our friends from the Constitutional Center - interactive-constitution
#4: Which Founder would you supported if they were running for office?  This short quiz explores the polices of the six Founders.  I think you might be surprised by some of the answers, so might your students. Support a Founder
#5: Can't have this list without the School House Rock Preamble video.  This is video I plan on showing my school.  I am hoping to have the students sing along.... School House Rock Video

Happy Constitution Day!
