My Take
Overall I like this as a teaching tool as it provides some application of amendments to "case law". The game nature of it, with scores and some badges, or motivate kids to try more. Overall I would recommend this program.
How I Use It
I would use this as either a pre-test or post test of Constitutional Amendments. At the end of the game, the user is provided with a list of what cases and amendments they know and what they don't so it can be used as a formative or summative assessment. Some time should be devoted to the basic function of the game, but there is a small tutorial at the beginning that guides students.

Learn to Think Like a Lawyer and Learn the Amendments
I found this app to be a good teaching tool. It was fun to play and had enough choice and variety that it was engaging, while still learning the amendments.

That aside, the app was a good learning tool, that made students think critically and have fun.

Great interactive game that teaches how our rights with amendments.
The is a great game that enhances the student's knowledge on the amendments. The game engages the students as they get to figure out whether they have the right to do things or not. I loved the fact that the game continually teaches. When you choose a right then you get to match the amendment. Furthermore, the game will explain the why the right and the amendment match. The students love playing this game. Once again, this should not be a main teaching tool but serves as a fun interactive way for the students to learn.

Most engaging way to teach the Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights can often be a stale and unexciting topic, especially for middle school students, so this has proven to be a fun and informative way for struggling students to improve their understanding of the concepts and advanced students to look at it from a critical standpoint.
