Arlington , VA – The Bill of Rights Institute recently released Celebrate the Constitution: Why Do We Need a Constitution?, a twenty-page full-color booklet on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The book is a replica of the Constitution Day tabloid that ran in newspapers across the United States on Constitution Day, September 17, 2007.

Entertaining as well as informative, Celebrate the Constitution contains activities, games, and short readings on the Constitution. The Founders’ Match Game asks student to match a quote with the Founder who said it. Students decorate a Constitution cube with their own representation of constitutional principles like federalism, individual rights, and popular sovereignty. The book also features a constitutional crossword puzzle.

Celebrate the Constitution provides teachers with fresh, exciting materials that connect the Constitution to students’ lives. Students consider the role of government in their daily lives, in a section entitled “The Government and You.” The book contains content on the rights students have in their public schools, touching on relevant and current issues like school newspapers and expression on the Internet and MySpace pages. Each book contains a full copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
