Today, I'm making my debut as a Contributing Writer with Orlando Mom Collective by sharing the importance of voting and why kids should be included in the process. This blog includes FREE RESOURCES, ACTIVITES and CRAFTS for all ages.
I would love to see your voting stickers 😀🥳💙❤️🤍
If you’re feeling overwhelmed about kids and voting and teaching them everything, don’t worry we got you covered! For Children Enrolled in Preschool and Elementary School:🗳️The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Kids provides age-appropriate activities for young voters by incorporating reading, math, sorting skills, and so much more.
🗳️Kids Voting USA offers printable puzzles, coloring sheets, short stories, and more.
🗳️The local library is a great place to visit for tons of educational resources for all ages.
For Teens Enrolled in Middle to High School:
🗳️Orlando’s Orange County Supervisor of Election office offers resources and activities just for teens explaining the importance of election, exercising their right to vote, and creating policies they wish to see implemented in their communities.
🗳️Educators and administrators can request speakers and class presentations to support teens as they learn more about their civic duties.
🗳️From driving to legal matters, we can equip our children with all the tools needed to be successful at fulfilling their civic responsibilities.
Voting is a powerful act that shapes our communities and country. By bringing children to the polls and teaching them about civic engagement, we empower the next generation of voters. Kids and voting go hand-in-hand. Discussing issues that impact society and modeling thoughtful voting teaches kids to be active, engaged citizens. Equip them with age-appropriate resources to understand the election process. Their future votes will be informed by memories made at your side. This November, show kids that the civic duties we carry out today build the democracy they will inherit tomorrow.
