iCivics
A collection of online games that teaches the fundamentals of government and law and encourages young people to become active in our democracy. iCivics is the vision of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and is created by a team of distinguished game scholars, designers, and curriculum specialists. In Do I Have A Right?, students learn their constitutional rights while helping clients and earning prestige points in a law firm.
iCivics does not identify a target audience but seems best suited to middle and high school students, and possibly early college.
