For Educators
Your Students Will Actually Care About Congress.
Fantasy Government turns the legislative process into a competition students want to win. When they have skin in the game, they follow every vote, every bill, every committee markup — without being told to.
✓ Free for students ✓ Non-partisan ✓ No ads
Why It Works
Built for the Classroom
Students Actually Follow Congress
When students have a roster on the line, they check congressional activity daily. Floor votes become must-watch events. Bills become stats to track.
Strictly Non-Partisan
Points are awarded for participation and legislative effectiveness — never for political positions or ideology. Safe for every classroom, every district.
AP Gov Curriculum Aligned
Covers legislative process, committee systems, bicameralism, and representation — core concepts in AP Government & Politics and most state civics standards.
Built-In Engagement Mechanics
Weekly matchups, live scoring, waivers, and trades create natural discussion points. Students research legislators the same way athletes research players.
Commissioner Tools for Teachers
Create private class leagues, set custom scoring rules to emphasize the topics you're teaching, and track participation across your entire roster.
Free for Students
Every student plays on the Free plan at no cost. Teachers on the Commissioner plan can create and manage the class league. No per-student fees ever.
Classroom Examples
How Teachers Use It
Scenario
Run a full-semester league alongside your legislative unit. Each student drafts 15 legislators and writes a weekly reflection connecting their roster's activity to course concepts.
Outcome
Students can name their legislators, track bills, and explain the committee process without being told to study.
Scenario
Use Fantasy Government for a 4-week Congress unit. Students draft and then compare their legislators' voting records to historical congressional behavior.
Outcome
Engagement spikes when students have personal stake in the outcome.
Scenario
Assign Fantasy Government as a semester-long lab. Use the scoring data as a quantitative dataset for research papers on legislative productivity.
Outcome
Students arrive to class having already read the congressional record.
