What educators are saying
Description
This fun, collaborative activity allows your students to contribute to a classroom poster featuring the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States.
Great project for Constitution Day, Citizenship Day, U.S. government studies, or any similar occasion.
There are 30 pieces, and each piece fits on a regular 8.5 inch by 11-inch piece of paper. When printed at full size, the final poster is approximately 35 inches by 42 inches.
Constitution Preamble Poster Details:
• There are 5 rows and 6 columns for a total of 30 pieces.
• The final poster is approx. 35" x 42" when complete. I have also included instructions on how to make the poster smaller if that works better for you!
• This poster is ideal for a large bulletin board or a hallway.
• Each poster piece fits on a standard 8.5" x 11" piece of paper.

Bonus Coloring Pages Included
I have added a few coloring pages in this resource for students to complete when they finish their individual piece(s) of the poster. These bonus coloring pages are also something students can take home to show their families and tell them about the collaboration project they created in class!
Some teachers like to show their students what they will be making (that is why I have included a final example), and others want to keep it a secret until the end as a fun surprise–my personal favorite!
The collaboration of this poster makes an impact without having to say anything. Every single piece of the poster matters– just as every child in your class matters. Your students will walk by and say, "I did that piece" each time they see the poster. Students take great pride in being part of this art project.
Differentiation is built into the design of this Constitution Day activity. Some pages have more to color than others, so some kids will easily color two pages. You can use this to differentiate and provide the appropriate experience for each child to succeed and be part of the group.
*Note: If you plan to laminate this poster, don’t use crayons because the heat from the laminator will often melt the wax from the crayons and ruin the poster.
