Candybar Election

Which candybar will get the most votes? Divide class in 2 (or 3) - First have kids choose candy-dates (candidates), design posters / create mini commercials (ad campaigns), have debates, sample, and cast their vote! Click here for detailed instructions from Cool Cub Scout Pack Meeting Ideas. Check out the activity in action at Momnaction, and Eat.Sleep.Teach (lesson sold for a fee).
