I think they only did the preamble and the three branches of government (compared to a three-ring circus).

Check out www.wallbuilders.com for material from David Barton and Rick Green, who have done tremendous work re-educating young and old about our nation’s founding. They also host a free, daily 30 minute radio show which is available via internet. Check out youtube for videos of their speeches. Netflix even has one of David’s videos available, I believe it’s called “America’s Godly Heritage.”

Hillsdale College recently held seminars in conjunction with Constitution Day and has made the webcasts available for a period of time, at the following link http://www.avwebcasting.com/hillsdale/register.php

Some of the material will be too advanced for the kids but you might find it helpful. Hillsdale has also provided free electronic versions of the course material they use to teach their students the Constitution and its historical frame, you can access them at this link http://www.hillsdale.edu/KirbyCenter/resources/constitutionreader/default.asp
