This resource is a U.S. Government: The Electoral College Student Simulation Activity.

You are purchasing a short student simulation and video activity that is perfect for INTRODUCING the Electoral College system to your students! Your students will be placed into groups and will be assigned a state to represent as they vote for a new president! Which candidate will win the popular vote and which candidate will win the electoral vote? From this simulation your students will understand how the electoral college system works, how it differs from the popular vote, and why the Founders used the Electoral College. You can follow-up the student simulation with a 10 minute public access video (with corresponding worksheet) that will extend your students understanding of the Electoral College!

About: Learning is a Passion Store - I have taught 6th-12th grade during my 20 year teaching career. I prefer to use lessons in my teaching practice that allow my students to become facilitators and active participants in their own learning rather than merely an audience of "my show". I love to create hands- on, interactive activities that really engage my students in the learning process.
