Election activities for kids are a great way to build a child's vocabulary about the process. Play Election Vocabulary Bingo to work on learning about polls, ballots, landslides, and more. The kids will be able to talk about the next president in a scholarly way.

One of the benefits of not watching much live television is that I get to fast-forward through all the commercials when I do sit down to watch a program (and I can do the same for the kids).  Soon every other commercial on tv will be a political ad and my finger will be pressing that fast forward button!  In just a few short months, there will be a new president of the United States. I would much rather talk about the election with a healthier activity.  Enter the Election Vocabulary Bingo activity for kids.

Give each child a handful of counters.  We used red, white and blue M&Ms .   You could also use counting cubes, presidential cookies,  or buttons.

VOCABULARY BINGO

Have the kids cover up their free spot (vote sticker) in the middle of the board.

Read a definition.  Each child should place a marker on the word that matches the definition.  Get five in a row or column and call, “VICTORY” to win.

If you are playing with one child, you could call out the word.  Then, the child defines the word in a child-friendly definition.  If correct, they word space is covered with a playing piece.

    Great resource for vocabulary. We will be working through the election process this fall and this is going on my pinterest board. Found you via The Homeschool Nook.
