Duck for President
"Duck for President" by Doreen Cronin is a great read for election time. Duck is tired of doing his chores, so he runs for election to replace Farmer Brown. However, he doesn't stop there and soon duck is running for governor and president! This is a great read and kids will love the main character Duck.
When finished reading, create a easy to make duck craft. You will simply need to print out the template and make duck with easy to follow directions.
- Print out template on construction paper or cardstock.
- Cut out the pieces of the template.
Cut out all pieces to glue together to make Duck.
- Use a white marker to color the stars on the bowtie. I also colored the center in red. You can print the bow tie in red or blue.
Decorate the bow tie with markers or crayons
- Glue the yellow bill onto the duck. Add black nostrils and eyes using a black marker.
- Glue reading response sheet on red or blue paper. Have students write and draw about Duck running for farmer, governor and then president.
- Last, Glue Duck onto the top of the reading response paper and add his bow tie under Duck.
