Watch Parties

Bring your community together to cheer on the next generation of civic leaders. Whether you’re gathering colleagues at your local chamber, rallying students in a classroom, or inviting neighbors to your living room, a National Civics Bee watch party transforms individual viewing into collective celebration. Here are a few fun ideas to consider: 

• Set the scene by displaying your state flag, wearing your state flag colors, or creating a “Civics Corner” with history about your community. 

• Plan your menu around snacks with spirit like “Constitution Cookies,” “Civic Chips and Dip,” or a red‑white‑blue fruit tray.  

• Create friendly competition where individuals or teams try to answer trivia questions along with the finalists or play along with our Bingo card. 

• Incentivize participation with prizes.
