Activity for Kids: Introduce them to the 2020 Census

An accurate count of all children is vital. The decisions based on the 2020 Census will impact schools for the next decade. Annually, Montana receives $500 million for education programs. While social distancing, take this time to introduce kids to the Census. Read relevant passages from the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 2), talk about civic responsibility, look at past Census data for Montana and your city, then fill out your 2020 Census online at my2020census.gov.

For teachers, parents and guardians who are looking for educational resources now that students are learning online from home, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Statistics in Schools program offers free curriculum to educate students from pre-K through 12th grade about the value and everyday uses of Census data.

Remember: All kids count in the 2020 Census, no matter how old they are. Make sure to count your entire household when you fill out the Census.
