In the run up to the General Election, why not run your own ‘election’ in school?
Teaching children about the workings of democracy is not only important in terms of equipping them to be active citizens of the future, but also offers various learning opportunities. While your children form ‘parties’ and plan their campaigns, work can be done that makes links with subjects such as literacy, numeracy, ICT, art and more. Children’s teamworking skills will also be developed during the process, as will their powers of persuasion!
