The Presidential Election is always an exciting time for students. As students watch the Democratic Party candidate and Republican Party candidate campaign to become President, teachers love the opportunity to join in the intrigue and successfully teach about the political process.

One common unknown in this race for the White House, is the mysterious electoral college. Many students are surprised to hear that the President is not necessarily the candidate with the most popular votes, but rather the candidate who wins the most electoral votes.

I have been teaching for many years and have found that this resource actively engages students in learning about the electoral college. This concept of government can certainly be limited to upper level courses, but it doesn't have to be. This resource does a great job of providing a fun competition to guide the learning process of how the electoral college system works and why it is a valid way to elect the president.

This lesson has been a time-tested, teacher-approved success for all of my classes! From elementary through high school, you will find that students love the competition and learning about a complex system they were completely unaware of. I know you will love learning about the electoral college using this fun and engaging game resource!

"Let's Get The Party Started!" This presidential election simulation is an excellent way for students to comprehend all aspects of political parties and the campaigns needed to elect a presidential candidate.

The teacher will divide class into groups of 4 to 5 students per group. Each group will develop their own political party and choose a presidential candidate to represent their party. Using the included criteria, allow students a few class periods, or portions of class periods, to create, form, and practice presenting their party until election day. On election day, candidates and their political parties will present their campaigns to other classes, staff, and/or your own classroom. If desired, have all those citizens that heard the campaigns vote for the best candidate/party. Download this campaign simulation for a fun, educational lesson that your students will remember for years to come. "Lets get the party started!"

⭐️ One of the best ways to prepare your students for this simulation is to study the various aspects of a party! I like to use my lesson Political Parties Spectrum: What is a Democrat & Republican? as an introduction before we start this election campaign simulation!

⭐️ Save 25% on this product by purchasing the Civics & Government Bundle!

What's Included:

• A detailed student-guided handout for creating a party name, logo, slogan, planks, platform, propaganda, presentations, etc...

• Two grading rubric options

• Complete teacher and student directions for running a successful presidential campaign

• All pages are available in printable PDF and digital Google Drive versions!

• "...I was blown away by how excited the students, parents, and other elementary grades were....The students took the assignment and were crazy-creative, invested, and begging for more time. Groups were getting together at each other's houses just to work more, new friendships were made, and our presentation day was a huge hit! This is going to be a 5th grade tradition!" - Middle School Teacher ★★★★★

• History Museum - With the biography bundles, such as this bundle, assign each student one of the included historical figures. After completion, have each student post their completed biographies on the classroom wall like a museum for all to see. Then, print off the included “gallery-walk” reflection template. Students will complete the “gallery walk” template by reading the other completed, posted biographies. This option allows students to learn even more historical biographies.
