Branches of Government: Cut and Paste

Sort out the three branches of government in this hands-on worksheet! Students will first cut out the boxes at the bottom of the page. They will decide whether each box describes a duty of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch. Then they'll paste the box in the corresponding column. 

Designed for fourth and fifth graders, this worksheet can help students gain a stronger understanding of their government and each branch’s unique responsibilities. This knowledge supports students’ comprehension of government and politics, allowing them to participate responsibly and intelligently in civic life.
