1-2-3 Brain Break: Voting Fun

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Library Staff in Book Recommendations, Library Blog

Brain Breaks are short activities, often only 1-3 minutes long, that help kids get ready to learn or refocus on the task at hand. They often involve physical activity and movement, though relaxing activities can also boost mental brain power.

So in addition to encouraging your kids to participate in these fun breaks, join the kiddos and have some refreshing, stress-free fun yourself, too!

Supplies needed  

  • Paper 
  • Coloring materials like crayons, markers, paint 

Here’s what you do 

Challenge Extensions 

For the little ones  

Check out one of our books on voting or voting rights OR think of something you would like to see improved in your community and discuss with a parent, caregiver. 

For the older kids 

Have a conversation with a parent or caregiver about their first voting experience. Ask if they began voting when they turned 18. Why or why not…? 

Check out these books for more fun!
