Branches of Government Review – Spring-Themed Color-by-Code Activity

Looking for a fun, no-prep, spring-themed activity to engage your middle or high school Social Studies students?

Perfect for test review, stations, early finishers, sub plans, or classroom fun!

Students complete 10 questions that challenge them to identify the differences between the three branches of government.

After identifying the correct answer, students match it to the color code and color the corresponding section of the birdhouse design. The built-in self-checking feature encourages accuracy, while the creative coloring keeps students engaged. Four coloring-page options provide differentiation and student choice. Answer keys are included for quick grading.
