Montessori Monday – Montessori-Inspired Election Unit

Election time is exciting … and preschoolers on up can participate in some of the excitement. This would be a great week for a United States election unit study, or you could just add an election book, activity, or mini unit this week to make the interest around a presidential election into a learning experience.

There aren’t a lot of Montessori-inspired election units available online. There are a number of Montessori-inspired activities you can do, though, and there are some awesome unit studies on my Pinterest board that would work very well in a Montessori-inspired unit. Following are some Montessori-inspired election activities and my Kids’ Government Activities Pinterest board.

I have a Kids’ Government Activities Pinterest Board with some amazing election activities and unit studies for a number of ages.

I’d love to hear about any election activities you’re doing at home or school!
