Welcome to my Bingo for Patriots site! This site is all about celebrating America, and learning about the founding of this exceptional nation! The Founding is filled with fascinating individuals, information, and documents! I am creating games, learning tools and products to help everyone learn about the Founders, First Principles, and to encourage them to become patriotic citizens. It has become my passion to teach others about this wonderful country, as well as to aid in the restoration of the United States of America to its roots as a true constitutional republic.
Did you know that it is “controversial” to teach young Americans to be patriotic? How can it be that Thanksgiving is not celebrated in every public school in the United States? Does your child recite the Pledge of Allegiance or know the words to the “Star Spangled Banner”? Will your child learn the name of each state in our great republic? How about the name of each state’s capital? Although there are some teachers who go the extra mile to teach about this subject, US history receives limited attention in most classrooms. Please click on the “What Does Your Child Know About Thomas Jefferson” link in the left column to read about inspired me to focus on this subject. You can see all of my patriotic and politically oriented bingo games by clicking on the “Patriotic Bingo Games” tab on the top menu bar.

This is a Clearing House about the Founders, Founding Documents, and Patriotism!
My goal for this website is to be a clearing house of information that parents and educators can use to teach young Americans about their country, as well as helping my fellow citizens to deepen their knowledge about the Founding and First Principles. Who are the Founders? What documents are associated with them? What information was written into those documents? What makes America such an exceptional country? How does all of this fit together? I am creating an information page about each Founder (and other fascinating individuals associated with the Founding). Please send me any information, graphics, or documents associated with any individual on this site. I’d love to include it on the page. I am adding in documents associated with the colonies, the Founders, the Founding Documents, as well as the first 50 years of our country. I’ve also begun adding in information about holidays and patriotic observances associated with our country, as well as information about American treasures such as our national parks and historic landmarks. You can help you children/students better understand the documents by downloading the primary source tools or biographical information collection tools located in the American History Products section. If you have ideas about other information that I can include on this site, I’d love to hear them!
Check back in often! I am constantly adding new documents and information to the site. I always have a new article or product in development. Also, I am a MOM on a mission….that means I work on this site during school hours and focus on my children after school. I am slowly but steadily moving along my path toward helping other parents educate their children.
More than the Core Teaching Tools and Information
The tools and games I develop can be aligned with the Common Core Standards and can be used at home or in the classroom. Use them as enrichment tools to add depth and complexity to the content knowledge areas associated with the Founding. The tools and products can be used in conjunction with the content standards for U.S. History that are set by the states. I like to think of them as helping our children know to know a bit “more than the core” requires! All of the materials will be available only as digital downloads, and they will be priced so that just about everyone can afford them. If you have any particular products that you would like to see developed, please let me know.
Teach Your Child & Other Adults About These Important Principles With My Latest Bingo Gamel |
Here’s a great game to play for both children and adults. You can use this game in the picture format by simply calling out what is listed on the card (e.g., “Every level of government must live within its means….just as must every citizen.”). Alternatively, you can use each calling card that you draw as an opportunity to discuss why that principle is important. It also includes quotations from the Founding Fathers, conservative theorists, and Ronald Reagan. Order the game with the title of Tea Party Principles or Conservative Principles.

Other Resources and Common Core Aligned Lesson Plans
I would also like to use this site to help parents and educators find quality resources to use in their efforts to educate young Americans. For example the National Archives has a wonderful Daily Document blog, and I have included it on the sidebar. Have you developed a lesson plan that will help children learn about the Founders, the Founding, First Principles, civic responsibility or patriotism? Is is aligned with the Common Core Standards and/or follows the content standards a particular state? Do you have a website that is filled with information about the Founding? If so, I’d love to include a link to it on this site.
