Let’s Vote | City Island

Explore the basic process of voting with this music video from the PBS KIDS show City Island.

In this video, Watt’s dad Frank takes the spotlight with a glitzy rock anthem all about voting! He defines voting as a way to make a fair choice and presents a number of decisions to Watt and Windy: should they go to a play or a baseball game? How about pizza or salad for dinner? They all vote, and the option with the most votes is declared the winner.

This video and the accompanying support materials are designed to help students:

• examine the simple voting process of presenting a choice, asking each individual to cast a vote, and declaring the option with the most votes the winner.
• understand that majority rules but that everyone should be able to share an opinion.
