It's Election Year!
Teach your students about the election in a fun, easy to understand, engaging way...with candy bars!!!!
This unit was truly designed for grades K-6. With all of the activities included, there are so many different ways to present it to your class. Older grades can hold primaries, and have a press group to ask candidates the tough questions.
Younger grades can hold a general election, and place their ballots in the ballot box.
All grades can hold a post-election celebration!!!
This really is a GREAT, FUN, and EDUCATIONAL way to involve your students in the Election Process.
Included, for you to pick and choose from:
Before, During, and After Election Activities, including:
*A list of suggested candy bars
*A letter to parents for supplies
*A suggested election timeline
*Campaign Volunteer Buttons
*Campaign Poster Planner
*Speech Planner
*"Official" Speech Paper
*Press ID Badges
*Press question planning sheet
*Voting Signs
*Ballot Box Signs
*Ballots
*"I Voted" stickers
*Tally Charts {to laminate}
*Graphs
*Graph Response Sheets
*Post-Election Celebration Ideas
*Celebration Invitations
*Newspaper Front Page template to announce the big news!
Many of the activities are in 2 fonts, one geared towards lower elementary students, and one geared toward upper elementary/middle school students
Many of the resources are also offered in Black and White/Grayscale to save on your colored ink!
Everything you need to hold a mock election in your room is included, with a candy bar theme.
Please email me with any questions or suggestions!
Happy Electing-
