Mock Election (Which Cookie is Best!?)

Actively engage your students in the process of voting by having a cookie election!

Students will choose from 3 options (or two if you'd prefer) and work to convince others to vote for their choice too!

Students will "register" to vote, design a promotional poster, and even execute a debate with a small group. When voting day arrives students can fill out a ballat and vote for their candidate! Have a great time discussing the process of voting before, during, and after the activity with students.

Print off faux "I Voted" stickers for students to really feel like they've participated in the process.

Lesson overview included for teachers.

You can really motivate kids by bringing in the winner of the election the next day!
