Any ideas for our Co-op mock elections? :)

[Rhonda@LivingWater]

I am a co-teacher for our homeschool co-op in American Government for Grades 3-5. We are wanting to set up a mock election for the whole co-op to vote in. We would like to have election committees, vote counters, pollsters and any other ideas we can come up with. We are going to paint and use a refrigerator box for the voting booth. We want to have two "parties" that we will make up. Does anyone have any good ideas?

we are planning something similar--
we found a simple little book at a teacher store about leading your class through a mock election. It has a lot of great reproducibles in it, as well as worksheets on developing a party, platforms for your party, voter cards, tabulating results, etc.

She has it, and I don't remember the name. If you look around at teacehr stores you might find something similar :-)

Good luck!

I've been "poking" around on the internet for some ideas. I don't have a teacher store nearby but I'll try to find something on-line.
Thanks again! :)
