This Presidents’ Day, let students experience history firsthand by assigning one of iCivics' newest interactive games, Brief the Chief. Students will talk to key stakeholders, gather evidence, and help guide critical decisions in American history, including:
- Should LBJ run for a second term?
- How might President Lincoln respond to the situation at Ft. Sumter?
- What can President Jefferson do about the Port of New Orleans?
Made in partnership with the White House Historical Association, Brief the Chief challenges students to think independently, make decisions, and connect past events to the present.
