Kansas Civics Games
2025 Kansas Civics Games
In partnership with the Kansas Office of Judicial Administration and the Kansas Department of Education, we are excited to bring you the 4th Annual Kansas Civics Games.
The games will be held at the Kansas Judicial Center on Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. The Games will consist of a written test and a quiz round followed by a project-based question. The questions will be on state, local and national government topics. A sample schedule is below.
The school contact will be sent a list of sources used to curate the questions so that all participants will know how to prepare for the games.
The Games will accommodate the first 22 teams to register and pay the fee ($150, which includes lunch). Each team must consist of two students but no more than four. All teams must currently be in grades 9-12 and have an adult sponsor in attendance.
Each winning team member will win a $1,000 scholarship to the post-secondary training institution of their choice. This award can also be used for concurrent post-secondary training while in high school.
