An Easy Guide to the Electoral College

America, high school, homeschool, Homeschool Curriculum

Does the Electoral College make your eyes glaze over? Do you think it’s not your problem? It’s actually very important, and it’s not rocket science. It’s also in danger of being abolished by voters who don’t like the outcome of elections in the U.S. That’s why I’ve created an easy guide to the Electoral College for you and your children.

This is not political. It’s constitutional. Every kid around 10 years and up can understand it. As we watch another Presidential election in our country, it’s imperative that every voter (and every future voter) understand this concept.

To begin, watch the short videos linked here. For a deeper study, consider adding these books to your home library. Read them yourself and share them with your children.

1. Book: We Elect a President: The Story of Our Electoral College by Tara Ross. This is a children’s book, but it’s perfect for kids, teens, and adults to easily grasp the Electoral College. (We Elect a President: The Story of Our Electoral College https://www.amazon.com/…/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i…)

2. Video: Do You Understand the Electoral College? By Prager U. This short video includes a follow-up study guide. (https://www.prageru.com/…/do-you-understand-the…/)

3. Video: The Popular Vote Vs. The Electoral College by Prager U. Another short video with quiz and study guide. (https://www.prageru.com/…/the-popular-vote-vs-the…/)

4. Book: Why We Need the Electoral College by Tara Ross. This book is good for a high school student taking government, as well as for adults.https://www.amazon.com/…/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i…)

For some hands-on experience, print out this Electoral College map and track the election results at home.

Be educated and informed! And pass it on to your children. These resources are part of my larger Government and Civics course recommendations, which you can find here.

I'm having a NOT BACK TO SCHOOL sale this week on homeschool t-shirts and everything else in my shop! Stock up on tees, hoodies, totes, backpacks, and water bottles with my custom designs for homeschooling families and get 20% OFF. There are also designs for Mom! “I have no greater joy than to know that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 1:4 "What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children’s growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn’t a school at all." (John Holt) "We cannot make our kids embrace the Christian worldview and the Christian faith. But we can work very, very hard to ensure that our offspring hear the truth from day one, and that we are their primary influencers, not a celebrity, not a well-meaning teacher, certainly not a peer. You could go on any vacation in America to see exciting sights and have a ton of fun with your family. Or you can go to the Ark Encounter and see exciting sights, have a ton of fun with your family, and build your faith and that of your children in immeasurable ways. Life with teens definitely changes the sweet, structured homeschool days you had when they were all littles. Different schedules and the need for more sleep can make family time almost impossible. If you want kids out of public education, get them ALL THE WAY out. Don’t keep the government involved with its funding. A strong biblical worldview is key to preventing Marxism. Preventing Marxist ideas in America is key to preserving life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When you homeschool, the world is truly your classroom! Check out my newest homeschool t-shirt design, just in time for a new school year.
