Democrats, Republicans, Liberals… no matter what you believe, your opinion will not make a difference unless you place your vote. “Citizenship” - is a big word for little minds to fully understand. Yet, the teaching of pride, respect, and responsibility to one's hometown, state, and country instils comradery and a sense of individual importance.
Pretend play, a childhood favorite, centered on the election and voting can teach students the importance of voting as well as the importance of forming an opinion, expressing your thoughts, respecting others’ opinions, using humility in loss and success, and the importance of every single vote.
Most tasks of adulthood are exciting and prominent through a child’s eyes. Perhaps, the excitement students take home regarding the upcoming election can in itself encourage parents to take the step of voting.
