My daughter’s Pre-K class did a mock election on the 5th. The candidates were the Cookie Monster, who promised us a cookie every day and The Count, who said that they could count on him to help them learn, count, & solve problems. It was unanimous – the Cookie Monster was the big winner! They marked their ballots and put them in the ballot box! Then they received a “I voted today” badge.
I thought it was pretty cool! Of course they did not get a cookie today….

Did you children do a mock election in their school?
That is so adorable and fun. I probably would have voted for a cookie every day too!
That is too cute! My daughter did a mock election at her preschool too.
My youngest two had one at their school and it was for their favorite snack food.
That is so cute!
we did not do this here, but that is cool.
Yep!
I would have voted for the Cookie Monster as well.
That is a cute idea. Our school used the real guys. Sesame Street characters are so much more fun!
Very cute! My children’s school held their student body elections on Tuesday, and did not have a mock presidential election. I think that was probably a good idea.
Do politicians ever keep their promises? Shame, Cookie Monster, shame!
LOL too cute!
I love that they chose fictional characters to teach democracy! I was less than pleased that my daughter’s first grade class used the actual candidates :/
