Free election guide for children
Are your kids asking lots of questions about the general election? The Week Junior + Democracy Classroom are here to help.
Help your children understand the general election
The Week Junior has teamed up with the Democracy Classroom to bring you resources to help your children explore and understand the upcoming general election.
Children are likely to have lots of questions about the election - what it all means, who the key players are, what their parties want. They may not get a vote, but it's important for them to understand what's happening so they feel empowered to get involved when their time comes.
