Lesson Plan Welcome to the General Election 2024 Parties, Constituencies & Candidates (Aged 7 -11)

In this Our Generation Our Vote session, created by VotesforSchools for primary aged pupils, learners are Welcomed to the General Election 2024. They are introduced to the political parties and start to think about issues that are important to them. They learn about constituencies and research their local candidates standing for election. Through an ‘election safari’ pupils find out what they may spot in ‘the wild’ during the General Election. After completing this session, pupils will be ready to learn about party manifestos and policy areas and then cast their vote as part of Our Generation Our Vote.
