Founding Fathers Scavenger Hunt & Social Media Page

What do you know about our Founding Fathers? Meeting for the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia back in 1787, a group of strong-willed men representing states with very different interests secretly created a document that has been used by our government for over 200 years! That same document was both strong enough to provide a set of rules on how a growing nation would govern itself yet was flexible enough to be changed with the times.

  1. Research one of the Founding Fathers and complete the Scavenger Hunt listed below.
