Each school runs its own version of The Civics Game.
Classrooms within the same school or district can link together to form a local network where students campaign, debate, and pass ordinances in a shared arena.
Every election is within your community — students rise from Citizen to Council Member to Mayor as they build their classroom city.
Your State Can Lead
On the national civics exam, only about one in five eighth graders score at a proficient level.
The Civics Game gives students a full year of hands-on practice with local democracy, helping them grow into informed, confident future voters and community leaders.
Pilot districts can run the program at no cost. Ask your superintendent or curriculum director to bring The Civics Game to your school or district.
Build Your State. Shape Your Country.
The Civics Game begins in your classroom city, but every decision your students make connects to the bigger picture of how local democracy works. Collaborate within your school, share ideas across districts, and see how civics comes alive when communities lead together.
