Practicing Voice & Choice

Encourage students to put their civic skills in action as they learn the power of their vote. Through our mock election simulation, students will practice making informed decisions and experience the importance of participating in their community. Whether you use this to have students determine elected officials in their classroom, vote on new classroom rules, or dream-up another scenario, these resources will help students understand the meaning of democracy and the power of their voice and vote!
