Free Bill of Rights Coloring Pages

Like What You See? Tell Your Friends!

These free Bill of Rights coloring pages are perfect for kids in grades K-5.

Written by James Madison in 1789, there were originally 12 amendments. By the time it was ratified (approved) by Congress on December 15th, 1791 there were only 10. These 10 amendments are now called the Bill of Rights.

There are currently 27 amendments to the Constitution. I will list the others below if you are interested.

These free homeschool printables are a great way for the kids to learn the importance of the Bill of Rights.

When the kids have colored these 10 in I recommend using them as Bill of Rights posters and hanging them on the wall. That is a great way for them to remember all 10 amendments.
