Preamble Match

Matching Activity to Teach the Preamble of the United States Constitution to

Elementary Students

Hooty’s Homeroom

Preamble Matching & Sequencing

Activity 1: Sequencing Put the blue cards in order to create the Preamble.

Activity 2: Matching Match the blue cards containing phrases from the Preamble with the red cards containing the meaning of the Preamble.

Note: In the Preamble, the British spelling “defence” is used. The American spelling “defense” is used in this file. I have included color and black and white versions of the Preamble. These can be used as posters or handouts. I’ve also included a smaller half-sheet version that can be added to journals and interactive notebooks.
