Did you know Americans are better at naming the Three Stooges than naming the three branches of government?  Anecdotal evidence, along with reams of formal research, points to a great need for citizenship education.

Modern Woodmen of America's Patriotic Civics Program aims to prepare young people to be strong members of society by:

• Providing a forum for developing positive character traits
• Pointing out historical highlights
• Introducing important vocabulary and governmental concepts
• Setting the stage for civic involvement
• Offering a framework to instill personal, community and national pride

Resources for children
The leader receives a comprehensive guidebook, filled with activity ideas and reproducible handouts and an audio CD with fun, original music and traditional patriotic tunes. Students receive workbooks and patriotic magnets.

Educational
