In this activity, students learn about the beginnings of government, as well as government in ancient times, the middle ages, and modern times. They do so by finding and circling key words, names, and terms in three fun word search puzzles. The words, names, and terms are then used to complete sentences about government in different periods throughout history.

Easy-to-follow Teacher Instructions and answer key included, along with a 20-question follow up quiz to measure student progress. The quiz can also be given as a homework assignment.
