Videos for the Classroom: Election Day on Sesame Street
This was, honest to God, the very first time I ever heard about voting.
When I was a kid, it was shows like Sesame Street that introduced me to a lot of the basics of American life. This video is still a great one to use with young students who still can’t participate in Election Day.

Enjoy this classic clip of a great show before it was ruined by Elmo and the big purple dinosaur.
