The President is someone that wears many hats. What are some of his responsibilities? How much does he get paid for all of his
hard work? ·

President. You’ll travel back in time
to learn about Presidents from the past.
You will decide which “hat” the President was wearing when a decision
was made. You win the game by
collecting all 7 hats. ·
