For now, let’s get started with a bit of vocabulary. Visit Breakthrough Homeschooling and find a list of terms related to the election process.

1. Choose at least 15 words and copy them into Grammarly, Google Docs or another word processing program.
2. Look up each word in an online dictionary, such as Dictionary.com or Merriam-Webster Online.
3. Rewrite the definitions in your own words and add them to your document.

Election Vocabulary

This list is part of the Elections unit in Online Unit Studies, from Techie Homeschool Mom. The lessons were co-written by Beth Napoli and myself and are a wonderful tool for Civics or Government studies. Reasonably-priced, they're a great way to enhance high school homeschool studies, or as a complete study for your middle school or upper elementary student.

Now use Puzzlemaker to create a criss-cross or word search puzzle of your vocabulary words. Print it out and see if anyone in your family can complete it.
