Pre-Election Party for Kids

Paint Savvy

Let the kids have their vote with a pre-election party.  It's a fun way to introduce your youngsters to the democratic process.

Build your Booth 

A voting booth can easily be constructed using a refrigerator box.  Wrap with paper or use plastic table covers, add streamers and make a VOTE sign

Make Ballots 

Choose a theme for voting and create ballots.  Kids can take turns speaking on what they see as the pros and cons of the issue before official voting.

Face Paint Ideas

When it comes to face painting, Lisa Yu from Paint Savvy says images can be as simple as a check mark on the cheek,the word VOTE with a circle around it, or an American Flag or a shooting star!

Food can be kept simple as well.  Pack everyone a picnic lunch in these cute sandwich sacks
