Election Activities for Kids
It is election year again! For months now, my kids have been noticing a lot of campaign signs and commercials. I thought it would be neat to have them make their own campaign posters and pins so I created these printables that are available to download for free below.
My kids love imagining themselves in different shoes a lot and really enjoy learning through role play. I printed the election pins out onto cardstock for more durability. The kids wrote their names on them and we wore them all day. I wore my Vote Mom for President button too. They drew their self portraits and wrote what they would do as President of the United States.
My son wrote about his plans to give everyone who does not have many books more books. My toddler described how she and I would give cookies (her favorite thing) to everyone and my oldest daughter (5) wrote about how she would use her position to sell more lemonade.
I also created a President Acrostic Poem Template.
My kids love acrostic poems. We often get together and make one for grandpa, aunts, and uncles for their birthdays and have come up with some pretty funny ones through the years. We used this president acrostic poem to brainstorm qualities that we felt the President of the United States should possess. My kids came up with… Peaceful, Resident for 14 years, Excellent at speeches, Safe, Intelligent, Determined, Energetic, Nice, and Trustworthy.

I create more printable activities for kids here with the goal of helping to grow kids who love to learn.
If you use these printables in your home or classroom, I would love to see it! Please use #sodangfun on social media, tag me @sodangfun on Instagram, or post to my Facebook page.
Regardless of the outcome, I hope our country can find peace and move forward to create a brighter future for our children.
