With the election just around the corner, it is the perfect time to feature some ideas to help students understand the election process. Looking for some ready made election day ideas? Try the pint sized election activities from The First Grade Parade. I also love the Candy Bar Election idea. How fun!

Schoolhouse Rock! is a tried and true classic with songs like I'm Just a Bill and Electoral College. There is an election day special DVD, but it is probably worth the money to buy the full 30th anniversary DVD.
