Fun Ideas to Teach About Voting

Social Studies· Voting

Teaching about the voting process is one of my favorite Social Studies units!  I love teaching my students that they have a voice and a choice in shaping their community and country.
With the Presidential Election coming up next month, October is the perfect time to read all the Children’s books on elections and have students participate in the voting process in the classroom.

Here are some ideas to teach about voting!
-Read Children’s books on voting and have students create campaign posters for their character then vote for them to be president 

-Have students run for the Class President of the Day and have a mock election 

-Have students campaign and vote for which party they would like to have at the end of the year: Ice Cream Party or Pizza Party

-Have students write a letter on why their teacher would be a great president

-Have students write and share why they would be a great president

Below are some of my favorite Children’s books on voting!

Hi friends! Let’s have some fun and get to know Hi friends! Let’s have some fun and get to know each other a little bit better! 

Leave me a comment below and tell me the year that you started teaching!!! 🍎 

For me, it was the fall of 2007 when I was hired 15 minutes before Meet-the-Teacher Night to replace the first grade teacher who decided to transfer back to her former school! Also, I had no idea I was teaching first grade until I formally accepted a teaching position. 🤣 I mean, a girl fresh from college needs a job, right?!

What about you? 😄
