Description
Get ready to engage in a fun Election Day experience with tons of voting activities, mock ballots, and an Electoral College map for 2024 and beyond. Your students will dive into the world of elections, enhance their understanding of the voting process, and have fun while they’re at it!
Here are some of the included activities:
- Mock Election Printables & Editable Voting Ballots: Make voting fun and interactive! Students can apply for the role of President (as themselves or a character) by writing about their personal qualities. They can pick a running mate for Vice President, design a political ad, and even take a poll of their classmates with customizable options like pizza vs. burgers. They’ll also get to decorate their own voting booth with color or black-and-white decorations, and finally… VOTE! using editable ballots. Students can complete a voter registration card and vote on fun topics like their favorite book or dinner. Afterward, hand out “I voted!” tags so students can proudly share their election experience!
- Reading Passage: Introduce the Presidential Election and voting in a kid-friendly way by going over some important election words and explanations!
- Election Words: editable text poster featuring important election vocabulary. Use the election vocab cards (text is also editable) for a read/write the room activity.
- Editable Color by Code: Combine learning and fun with an editable color by code activity. It’s a great way to review and apply concepts you’re learning in other areas as well (addition, multiplication, letter sounds…you choose!). Crayon colors, crayon codes and puzzle spaces are all editable!
- Editable Number Puzzles: Have some fun and sharpen critical thinking skills with editable strip puzzles (change the numbers to anything you’d like–addition, skip counting, multiplication, etc.) and students put the strips in order.
- Writing Pages: Combine with or without the easy color and cut craft toppers (donkeys & elephants so they can be used any year)! Empower writing skills with versatile writing pages. You can edit the writing prompts and choose between whole and half pages, as well as primary and intermediate lined formats, with or without drawing boxes.
- Election Flipbook: Dive into various election topics with the flip book. It comes with pre-filled content, but you can also edit it to suit your needs and student ability levels (which means you can use it whether you’re teaching 1st grade or 5th grade!).
- Electoral College Map: Take a closer look at how elections work by coloring in the map that shows the voting process in a visual way. Includes an option without numbers for each state, with numbers, and a third option with a bit more of an explanation on the electoral college.
