Online Game – Counties Work

NACo, together with iCivics, has created an online game, “Counties Work,” to educate students, grades 6 through 12, about the important role and functions of county government by letting them run their own county. A curriculum and web quest has also been developed to assist teachers with preparing lessons on county government.
