Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids

From kindergarten through high school students, this portal (gateway) website puts you in touch with every govenment agency that's built a special website for young people. The webpages are categorized by specific age groups. Psst... this is a fun hangout for grown-ups, too, even if it was designed with kids in mind.

In the future, I will probably be featuring some of the government websites mentioned here in this big list of all lists.

FROM THE WEBSITE:

Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids is brought to the World Wide Web as a
service of the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). Ben's Guide serves as the educational component of GPO Access, GPO's service to provide the official online version of legislative and regulatory information.

This site provides learning tools for K-12 students, parents, and teachers. These resources will teach how our government works, the use of the primary source materials of GPO Access, and how one can use GPO Access to carry out their civic responsibilities. And, just as GPO Access provides locator services to U.S. Government sites, Ben's Guide provides a similar service to U.S. Government Web sites developed for kids
.
VISIT THIS WEBSITE

ALSO SEE KIDS.GOV (seems to be another official portal to the United States government for kids).
