Election Crash Course

We had a crash course in the Electoral College, learned a bit about the issues and the candidates, then chose a candidate to support. Check out our posters!

After the President was decided on Election Day, we watched his speech together!

Election Day Cube Challenge!

Earn 15 cubes! 

Have an adult print out this map (click it to make it larger). Watch the election coverage on the news or check this link right before bed time.

Shade the states President Obama wins blue!  Shade the states Romney wins red! (Use another map or an adult to help you identify the states, if need be.)

Bring in the sheet tomorrow to school to earn your cubes! Don't worry if you have to go to bed before all states report results. 

Bonus opportunities:

* Choose a candidate. Add up all of the electoral college votes that candidate won. How many more would he need to make it to 270?

This challenge expires on Friday, November 9.
