Intro to the Executive Branch - Digital Resource Activity for Gov & Civics
(1 rating)$3.00
Add to cartDescription
Engaging digital resource to introduce elements of the executive branch, including cabinet departments and agencies, in the high school classroom!
Do you want to teach students about the key pieces of the executive branch without traditional lecture slides? Do you want to get students fully engaged with your Social Studies class? Do you want to infuse fun and novelty into the secondary History environment? This activity was made for YOU!
Students will read a passage that covers key players in the executive branch, including cabinet departments, independent agencies, regulatory agencies, law enforcement agencies, government employees, and the President. The passage's helpful metaphor comparing the executive branch to a jigsaw puzzle will aid understanding. Then, students will answer 10 comprehension questions. Finally, they will decode the answer to a fun government-related joke! Students will be motivated to solve the riddle while learning along the way!
This creative and low-prep resource includes...
- Teacher instructions
- Reading passage
- Self-checking questions
- Self-checking secret code activity
- Answer key
- ...and tons of fun for your students!
This lesson serves as a fantastic introduction to the executive branch, but it can also be used as a content refresher or an easy sub plan! This activity is a great addition to your Government, Civics, or Political Science course.
To access the resource, you must download the PDF, then click the link within to make a copy! This is a Google Sheets activity and requires access to Google Suite for staff and students.

Teacher reviews
“Solid resource that introduces students to the executive branch, however, the secret code was screwed up and ended up not making sense, 2 numbers needed to be changed for it to make sense. Highly suggest modeling the first two answers or so for students because it can be a bit confusing at first.”

For Calculating Hourly Wages and Overtime Pay Pixel Art
October 15, 2026While I absolutely enjoy this resource, I had some initial difficulty getting my students to actually be able to work on it individually. First, it is online only through google slides; so, I made a copy as instructed. However, the mistake I made was sharing that copy with all of my students. When they accessed it, they were all editing the same copy. I had to make a copy for each of my students and share it with them individually. Second, I had to give each student editor permission (I only missed this step twice). That being said I do love the resource as it self-checks, enabling students to get a 100% and complete the picture. I plan to us it again.
Reply from Surviving in Secondary
Hi Velma, thank you for letting us know you liked this resource. Typically, once you create your own copy, we recommend sharing that through your schools Learning Management system and then there is typically a spot to click that creates individual copies for students. Hopefully that can streamline that process for you for future use!

For Intro to the Executive Branch - Digital Resource Activity for Gov & Civics
March 17, 2026Solid resource that introduces students to the executive branch, however, the secret code was screwed up and ended up not making sense, 2 numbers needed to be changed for it to make sense. Highly suggest modeling the first two answers or so for students because it can be a bit confusing at first.

For Aquatic Biomes Reading Passage and Pixel Art Activity
March 16, 2026My students enjoyed this activity. However, many were frustrated when "intertidal" would not work for the answer to question #8. Looking at the answer key it was misspelled in the Google Sheets file as "intertidel" and I am not able to correct it.

February 6, 2026Some of the station answer choices are incorrect, based on the key. From what I can tell, three of them are incorrect (11, 3 and 13 I think).
