📋 What it is
Civics shows up in real life — a local vote, a rule change, a jury, a community meeting.
🗣️ Coach says
Civics isn't just a textbook — it's your real neighbourhood. A local vote decides a new park; a community meeting changes a rule; a jury decides a case. Spotting civics in everyday life — and taking part — is how citizenship becomes real instead of just something you read about.
🧠 Memory hook
Civics is real life: local votes, rule changes, juries, meetings. Spot it + take part.
😂 Giggle
Why did the citizen go to school?

😲 Whoa!
The next time a stop sign, a school rule or a local park changes, a real civic process — a vote or a meeting — made it happen.
