SUMMARY:Use Your VOICE Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Election Day with Use Your VOICE Day at The Iowa Children’s Museum! This special event will introduce children to the many ways they can engage in their community and make their voices heard. From voting in a mock election to hands-on activities throughout the museum\, kids will learn important civic values related to Voting\, Opportunity\, Involvement\, Community\, and Engagement. \nThroughout the day\, children can cast their votes for our playful puppet candidates—Pete and George—or write in their own choice\, all while learning about the democratic process in a fun\, interactive way. Be sure to grab your voter button after casting your ballot and keep an eye out for our candidates as they campaign for votes! \nThe results of this year’s election will determine what dress-up day we will hold during winter break. This year’s winter break dress-up day options are all inspired by future careers\, giving kids a chance to vote for how they’d like to imagine their grown-up selves! Help your child discover the many ways they can use their VOICE to shape their world! \nPlease note that this is a mock election for educational purposes\, and The Iowa Children’s Museum is not a registered polling place. To find your polling place for Election Day\, click here. \nAll activities are included with museum admission (free for members).
