Description

Guide a bill through Congress with Fox as you build paths from idea to law. Rotate road tiles, pass through committees, stay within Congress’s powers, and gather support in the House and Senate. Each path shows how the legislative branch is structured, how its powers are limited, and why lawmaking takes careful steps before a bill can move forward.

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Legislative Branch. Suitable for Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The legislative branch is the branch of government responsible for making laws.
Article I of the Constitution establishes Congress and outlines its powers and structure.
Congress is bicameral, meaning it is made up of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The House and Senate differ in size, term length, qualifications, and constitutional responsibilities.
Bicameralism was designed to balance representation, slow lawmaking, and encourage deliberation.
Congress has enumerated powers, including taxing, spending, regulating commerce, declaring war, and making laws necessary to carry out its duties.
A bill must pass both houses of Congress and be presented to the president before it can become law.
Congressional committees and leadership structures help organize legislative work and shape which bills advance.
Members of Congress balance constitutional duties, constituent interests, party goals, and personal judgment when making legislative decisions.
