RALLY ROUND ELECTIONS THIS FALL! SchoolRooms^™ offers you fun and cool election and voting activities!

October is sure to be filled with conversations about elections, voting and citizenship. Explore the Government and Citizenship SchoolRoom for your age group (elementary, middle or high school) and learn about elections, voting, citizenship and more! In Government and Citizenship find information about the Constitution, branches of the U.S. Government, elections and campaigns, voting and the responsibilities of U.S. citizens. While visiting, have some fun with cool links and games about Presidential vetoes, checks and balances and the U.S. Constitution.

One of the hot topics this fall is the U.S. and world economy. Check out the Economics SchoolRoom and discover the various types of economies around the world, as well as information on foreign and domestic policy and the economy and investments and the stock market.

Teachers, check out the Educator’s Guide and find classroom activities as well as ideas on managing the classroom and individualizing instruction. Educator’s Guide contains information, games and cool sites to make your classroom a hit. Fall learning is fun when exploring, discovering and learning with SchoolRooms.
