Not for our real president. Although, I have heard early voting is the way to go.
I’m talking candy. Candy for President!!!!
We’re going to start gearing up for the election this week {provided school isn't closed foreverrrrrrr due to Sandy!} with my Candy Bar Election unit. I am sooo excited, because I do it yearly, and it is buckets of fun! {Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for ALL the Candy Goodness!}

By voting for Candy Bars, students learn all the elements of a regular election {you can even hold primaries!}, but without any influence of their parent’s political beliefs. Plus, students KNOW CANDY. Really well. I’ve had students get as passionate about a Kit-Kat bar, as people do about Romney or Obama!
Here’s a peek at what else My Candy Bar Election includes:
To make this unit fit all grade levels, many of the sheets come in a less “cutesy” format too!
If you’re still looking for something for the election, hurry up and snag it by clicking the Preview Picture below :)
Now, if you can guess which Candy Bar I would vote for, you can win this guy for FREE! I’ll email it to the first person who guesses correctly. Don’t forget to leave your email.
And here’s a HINT: My favorite Candy bar is not mentioned OR pictured above {I couldn't make it too easy!}
I’ll be spending at least the rest of the day today and tomorrow hanging out with the hubby, catching up on TV shows {as long as we have power}, and reading a book or two, while we try our best to avoid Sandy’s wrath!
Stay safe, my fellow East Coasters!

Whatchmacallit? This is the favorite candy bar of the teacher across the hall. Sometimes I buy them for her...and sometimes I eat them before they make it to her room! This looks like a fun way to teach about the voting process!
