State Legislatures Government Stations Activity ★ Print & Go Prep ★

Looking for a fun way to get your students talking, moving, and collaborating? Look no further!

This Stations Activity will get your students moving while introducing them to the content that will learn throughout the unit.

How the Lesson Works:

★ This lesson is made up of six stations that will allow your students to discuss the following topics:

Station 1 - State Legislatures
Station 2 - Who Are Your Legislators?
Station 3 - Types of Legislation
Station 4 - Your Legislature in the News
Station 5 - Interest Groups in the Legislature
Station 6 - Vocabulary Review
Lesson Setup and Format:

★ This activity can be completed by individual students or by teams of students with one answer sheet.

★ The stations are designed to be completed in ten to fifteen minutes. The entire lesson will take between sixty to ninety minutes to complete.

★ Many of the stations involve writing opinions rather than facts, so there is not always necessarily a correct or incorrect answer. I’ve included a sample answer sheet to give you an idea of how students can respond to these prompts.

★ This purchase includes the six station cards, supplemental files for two of the stations, a student answer sheet, and a sample completed answer sheet.

★ The document includes a link to create copies of each component of the lesson so it can be adapted for your individual classroom (if needed).

Required Materials:

★ One of the stations require devices for watching a video on YouTube. Any device with an internet connection will work.
