Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Understand democratic principles, free and fair elections, the harm of vote-buying, ways young people can take part in politics, and handling fake news by checking sources before sharing.
What's in the worksheet
6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - Democracy: power belongs to the people and minorities are respected - A fair election: equal rights, secret ballot, transparent count - Vote-buying produces representatives who do not reflect the people's will - Young people take part by following news and giving reasoned views - Fake news misleads; check the source before sharing
How to use it in class
Use in the democracy unit, or around student council elections; about 6 minutes. - Extend question 2 with a mock class election using secret ballots and an open count - For questions 5-6, have children share rumours they have seen in family LINE groups - Play solo and check totals; if many chose 'the majority decides everything' on question 1, ask whether it would be fair for the majority to vote some classmates out of a game - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Question 1: 'the majority decides everything' matches what children see in class votes, so it is picked often; stress democracy also protects minorities - Question 2: 'open voting, quick count' differs from the answer only in open versus secret, so fast readers slip - Question 3: 'people earn more' sounds positive and may be picked by children who have heard adults mention election money; handle carefully without pointing at anyone - Question 4: 'wait until 18' reflects a common belief that politics is only for adults
