Talking about elections

My kids have always been part of the conversation around voting and elections. They've been especially interested in presidential elections. As a contribution to "Try It Tuesday" at Quick Start Homeschool, I'm putting together a little list/description of what my family has done regarding elections, government, voting, democracy, etc.

What would you do if the President of the United States visited your town?
Besides exploring the kids' books and websites on government, my kids watch campaign videos, participate in discussions with their dad and me, and hang around during our voting.

I put together a list of children's websites about the election process, voting, and democracy.

I've also covered some related activity ideas and online resources in my Bill of Rights civic education and Constitution Day articles that list several good websites where kids can learn more about U.S. government.
