We have been studying the election and here are a bunch of links I had put together for our group. Also, this first link is to a game that we've had a lot of fun playing. It has three levels which is nice (elementary, middle and high school) and it gets kids to see the election process (primary, issues, electoral votes etc...) So for those of you studying the election I hope you can find something you can use!
