2024 Presidential Election - Donald Trump - Kamala Harris - Special Education Unit 2

 ⭐ RECENTLY UPDATED FOR THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS ⭐

With the 2024 Election Day fast approaching, students will be surrounded by presidential election coverage everywhere they go. Although this purchase was created specifically with special education students in mind, it is a great starting point for an introduction to elections for ANY classroom!

This unit includes a fun game that is formatted to help your students understand the electoral college in an engaging and academic way! My classes have LOVED playing it and I am sure yours will too! In essence, the class is divided into 2 groups and each group is given a "budget" of $100 to campaign across the United States. Whichever team spends more in a state wins the points for that state. Whoever has the most points at the end - WINS!

This lesson is a great way to challenge kids to start thinking about the candidates in a more engaging manner and challenges them to use their skills to create meaningful information during this election year!

⭐ Please note: This unit has been used in special education classrooms with much success. If you feel like you need a more detailed lesson plan for your students, this may not be the best fit. This lesson was intended to introduce students with limited reading and writing skills to the basic concepts of elections in a meaningful manner ⭐
