Let's Vote! Kid friendly ballots, voter ID cards, and cut and paste activity!

The cutest election packet ever! First, students create their own voter ID cards. Then, SIX fun ballots let students experience the voting process in a kid-friendly way! Picture cues make this perfect for both pre-readers and beginning readers. Finally, a cut and paste activity is perfect for assessing understanding. A short summative assessment is also included.

This packet integrates social studies, language arts, and math into one fun unit.

Ballots include:

Class Pet: fish, turtle, rabbit, or bird (I always stress this one is just pretend :) )

Snack: popcorn or chips

Cookie: chocolate chip or Oreo

Lunch: pizza or sandwich

Candy: Skittles or m&m's

Book: Grace for President or Duck for President

Each ballot has a corresponding recording sheet that allows students to tally and graph the results of each vote.

My students absolutely LOVE voting! We set up a small voting booth in class complete with a ballot box. To enter the booth, students must present their voter ID card. Once everyone has voted, we count the results and tally them together.

For extra fun, reward students with the cookie, candy, or snack that is the winner.

This unit coordinates with my Election Terms and Sequence Cards.
