What’s Included in the Supreme Court Worksheets

These free Supreme Court worksheets include 15 educational coloring pages that introduce kids to the judicial branch through hands-on learning.

Topics include the Supreme Court building, Lady Justice, the Judiciary Act of 1869, courtroom traditions, and all nine current Supreme Court Justices. Each worksheet is explained in more detail below.

For a deeper look at how the Court works, I also recommend What Is the Supreme Court?, an excellent introduction for younger readers.

Where is the Supreme Court?

The U.S. Supreme Court is located at 1 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20543.

Although the Court has met in Washington, D.C., since 1801, it didn’t move into its current building until 1935.

Lady Justice

Lady Justice is inspired by two ancient figures:

• Themis – Greek goddess of law and order
• Justicia – Roman goddess of justice

Her symbols each have a special meaning:

• Sword – Authority and the power to enforce the law
• Blindfold – Impartiality
• Scales – Balance and fairness

The Judiciary Act of 1869

The Judiciary Act of 1869 established the current size of the Supreme Court:

• 1 Chief Justice
• 8 Associate Justices

Kids can also learn that:

• Justices are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
• They serve for life unless they retire or are impeached.
• Lifetime appointments help keep the Court independent from politics.

What Is a Gavel?

The Court Marshal uses a gavel to announce the entrance of the Justices. Kids can even recreate this courtroom tradition at home or in the classroom.

The session begins with the traditional call:

“The Honorable, the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!…”
