Campaign Slogans

Students need to create campaign slogans for their candidates. Discuss campaign slogans such as "I like Ike," or "LBJ for the USA." Campaign buttons, bumper stickers, postcards, and posters often used slogans and art to gain support for candidates. Remember, slogans usually rhyme, are easy to remember, and convey a message. Slogans can be positive or negative. Let's focus on keeping our campaigns positive.

(I have not been able to find a site with slogans, but these have some in them. Please email me, if you come across a good site.)

Campaign Postcards and Campaign Medalets for a historical background.
