Election Day in the United States is officially the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. It will fall somewhere between November 2-8. Whether there are national elections, state elections, or local elections, it’s a great time to create a unit study all about elections.
You can use the resources in this post to create your own unit study all about elections. I’ve tried to note lower (elementary) and upper (middle and high school). But one of the awesome things about homeschooling is that you can use and adapt materials to use with your whole family. I’ve also tried to note whether the materials are free or paid.
If you don’t have time to create your own unit study, at the end of the post I’m also sharing an awesome four-week Election 2018 unit study for the whole family.
Make sure you pick up your free unit study planner here. It has a step by step guide and printable sheets that can use to plan to your unit study.

Elections 2018 from Amanda Bennet
~ The study includes vocabulary and copywork and encourages kids to keep a journal where they write what they’re learning. This is great for homeschoolers like me who love notebooking-style activities.
~ Each day there are video and website links that will direct you to the information that kids are learning. It’s nice to have these organized and ready for you.
~ There are several family projects suggested that will help you make this a fun family learning experience.

With these resources, you can put together a great unit study that will help the kids- and you!- learn all about elections. (And don’t forget to pick up your free unit study planner here.)
