With the election coming up, my kindergarten classes answered the sentence “If I were President, I would make the world a better place by…” and they drew themselves as President. I got this idea from my daughter’s art teacher, as they did it for President’s Day last year. I started by reading them a book about what a president does. This is one that I found that I really liked. If I Were President
After they made these pictures, we recorded their voices into a video slideshow of their artworks. This video will be played at the Election Day assembly. Unfortunately, I can’t share the video here because I don’t have permission to share their voices. Here are some more of our fun pictures.
“If I were President I would plant lots of flowers.”
“If I were President, I would help people and rescue them.”
“If I were President I would make good laws and protect the cities.”
“If I were President I would help pick up garbage and make tree houses for kids.”
“If I were President I would keep people safe from wild animals with sharp teeth.”
“If I were President I would stay in my office and work and work and work.”
“If I were President I would make better rules.”
“If I were President I would help people if they got in trouble.”
“If I were President I would make houses when buildings got destroyed in earthquakes.”
Do you have any good projects that have to do with presidents or the upcoming election? Share in the comments!

I really liked this book. I thought that the author did a really good job at telling the kids about different things, like vetoes, but explaining it in a way that children would understand. I would recommend this book to others.
