Links to the US Election Process for Kids

Posted in Social Studies and Civics

These are a few links I've found for the election process. The primaries are coming up in our state soon, so I compiled a few links. I originally sent these out in an email (and being "frugal with my energy"

), so I'm copying and pasting.

Ben's Guide to US Government for Kids (All different grade levels...3rd & up have information on elections, but the K-2 page has basic government info)

Congress for Kids (Election Process...also links to an online quiz to test what your kids learned)

Social Studies For Kids (Introduces kids to the top candidates for each party, primary & caucus, Electoral college, and an overview of the election process)

Election Day Activities for Kids (These could "transfer" nicely to a lapbook)

Election Links from TheHomeschoolMom.com (Some are from the 2004 Election, but should be the same general info)

If you prefer something "done" for you, Live & Learn Press sells an Election Lapbook (It says 2004, but it may be "generic" I haven't seen it).

There is also a free set of lapbook mini-books at Homeschool Share on the election process. Make sure to click on the link to The Ballot Box Battle book for s few more election/government related mini-books. :-)

Presidential Election Maps from 1900 - 2000 (Historical maps of election"turnouts")

PBS site for Elections 2004
PBS Election Lesson Plans

Political cartoons (a "fun" election site...I'd say these would be something older kids would enjoy...Elementary will probably not "get it")

Electing a President for Kids (includes a quiz and activity links)

Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck. Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
