( psst., this one is a good one!)
Have you heard of C-SPAN Classroom yet? It’s full of resources for social studies and history teachers (and homeschoolers & parents). They have a lot to offer virtually on their site.
Here is what the site creators say about C-SPAN Classroom:
C-SPAN Classroom is a free membership service for social studies teachers. Our mission is to enhance the teaching of social studies through C-SPAN’s primary source programming and websites.
Membership [free, homeschoolers welcome] gives educators access to their own library to store C-SPAN Classroom videos and video clips, supplementary materials such as lesson plans and handouts, and special offers like our American Presidents Timeline poster.
How to Access C-SPAN Classroom: Go to C-SPAN Classroom to browse and complete a free membership form.
The only down side is the stream of mail that C-SPAN sends after you order something from them 🙁
Email, MaryEllen, or mail? If email, they are required to have an unsubscribe opt-out on each email. Look for it at the bottom. Thanks for writing!
Thanks Lori for your educational FREE stuff. It is very interesting.
How long did it take to get yours approximately? I ordered ours thanks to your post 🙂 but I’m not sure how much time had passed since you posted it! Haven’t gotten anything yet… 🙂
Read the fine print and I answered my own question! 🙂 Am looking forward to getting it.
So another question: What do you think of it?
thank you for pointing this out! Every time I think I need to stop using facebook someone shares valuable info like this to bless our homeschool 🙂 I appreciate it!
It's big and informative. Our 12yo (girl) said it's uglier than the endangered species posters we had up, so I told her we'd take the prez poster down as soon as she could name all presidents in order

I haven’t received ours yet!! Hoping it will come soon! Thank you for the update! 🙂
this is a great resource. thank you for posting. The C-span Classroom website is something I never thought of looking up to help with civics/government lessons. 🙂
Didn’t know about this, I just signed up! Thank you!
Ours came today and it’s big!! Thanks for the tip, I love this site!
Thank you for letting us know yours came, too, Kim!
You're quite welcome!
Thanks for your feedback, Allisson
We got ours today and stuck it up on our wall…takes up almost half of it!! We think it’s awesome 🙂
I love this blog/site! Thank you, Lori!
Thank you so much for sharing. Yes, it is BIG!
I got this months ago. If they are still offering it, then this is not a limited offer. It has been going on now for about a year…:)
Yep, it's still ongoing! I don't think there is a rush to order, either. Since they'll eventually run out (who knows, maybe next presidential election), I'll keep it as a limited time offer so future readers will know this may be expired when they find this post in the archives.
I also received this awhile back, but it is really a great poster. My husband and I have even spent a lot of time going over it! Glad to brought it up again.
Thanks for the feedback, BB! Glad you like it as much as we do.
C-SPAN just let me know they have a few thousand posters left.
I have it and love it. Found out about here! Does anyoen have any great idea for storage though?
Just signed up to receive one. Yay!
Curious about the Presidential Timeline Poster. Is that still available? We are studying the Presidents this year & it would be awesome to have that along with the electoral one.
Thanks!

The presidential timeline poster isn't available anymore. 🙁 But I'll keep trying to find more!
Thank you, Lori. The poster will be useful when covering the election this year.
I think so, too!
Just to let you know, I just signed up with the C-SPAN teacher, and the last window asked if I wanted the Election Poster. Thought others might want to know that. Thanks for letting me know about this. We have been following the primaries and now we will have something to use for the election.
Thank you for the tip, Kimberley!
The comments above are about a free 6′ presidential timeline poster that C-SPAN mailed to many people in 2011-2012. That deal has sadly (but understandable) run out. – 2017, Lori
