#ChalkTheVote is ParentsTogether’s fun and kid-friendly way for the whole family (and the whole neighborhood!) to get involved with the election. Plus, kids who get excited about voting are more likely to grow up to be adults who vote. Specifically, ParentsTogether recommends that parents #ChalkTheVote with their children by:
- Creating a “Vote” Mosaic
- Making a “Voting Plan” Hopscotch for their neighbors
- Creating a voting calendar with local deadlines
- Chalking inspirational voting slogans
- Having kids respond to prompts like; “I need my grown-ups to vote because…”
