How to Play

Print the deck. Each card has a picture on the front, information on the back, and a slot number in the bottom right corner. The slots run the timeline of American history, each one tied to a president or to a time period from the Preamble.

Print the slots too. Small slots set on a table or post on a wall. Big slots are larger than the cards, so you stack the matching cards on top. Teachers, tack or staple the slots to the wall left to right.

Pick three presidents. Three different men, anywhere on the timeline. Theodore Roosevelt at Slot 34, Taft at Slot 36, Wilson at Slot 37. Or jump around, Cleveland at 31, Harrison at 30, Roosevelt at 34. Pull the cards matching those three slots and set the rest aside. Vice presidents, justices, cases, amendments, innovations, states, all of it lives in those slots.

Want a deep dive? Pick one president and play his terms side by side. Lincoln 1st and 2nd. FDR 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

Shuffle and deal. On your turn, place your card on the slot you think it belongs to. Right slot, one point. Then name a fact you think is on the back. Right fact, another point.

Now your opponent. Same card, still face down. They name a fact. Then you. Then them. Point, point, point, until every fact on the back has been called and the card is learned.

Next card. Next round. Pick three more presidents and go again.

Win the round by knowing where each card belongs and what is on the back. Win the long game by learning the seven articles, the 27 amendments, the presidents, the vice presidents, the justices, the landmark cases, and the rights they secured.

Play it for fun. Play it to compete. Play it until you know your Constitution cold.

Educational Purpose

The Constitution HQ Vice Presidents Cards help learners understand that vice presidents are more than names beside presidents on a list. Some cast important Senate tie-breaking votes, some shaped policy, some became president after national crises, some resigned, some died in office, and some played major roles in party politics, foreign policy, wartime leadership, or constitutional succession.

By placing each vice president into the correct Constitution HQ timeline slot, students can connect the office to presidential administrations, political parties, national conflicts, constitutional transitions, and changing expectations of executive leadership.
