With the upcoming federal election, many teachers want to do some related activities in class – and we have the materials ready for you!
To make selecting suitable resources a bit easier, we have an Election Activity Bundle containing everything you need, available for just $9.90.
Did you know that the secret ballot is an Australian invention? Well Tasmanian actually.
Children are interested in topical issues in society and their local community. After all, it’s adults making decisions now about issues that will affect our children. And regardless of what opinions we hold on particular topics, learning how the voting system works, with assistance from free additional resources by the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission), is useful. With our Election Activity Bundle, you have everything you need to guide the learning process.
As these topics are covered in the Civics & Citizenship Australian Curriculum in Years 4, 5 and 6 the activities are of course specifically aimed at those year levels. However, the base resources are suitable for high school students and adults as well! Everything you wanted to know about preferences, for instance.
The program reduces my planning time as I only have to plan and research for one integrated unit.
