game

The Madam President Game© teaches girls about skills and experiences needed to become the President of the United States. In 1872, Victoria Woodhull became the first woman to run for President of the United States. 146 years later we have still not had a woman in that role. Political parties and viewpoints aside, we need to empower and encourage girls and young women in this country to pursue their dreams and to not be discouraged. While most girls' games are primarily focused on looks, clothing, and superficial qualities, this game places the emphasis on character, hard work, skills, and education. It is geared toward girls and relays several skills necessary to run for President and provides strategies for winning the "White House" and become a female President of the United States. This game is aimed specifically toward girls to teach them the qualities needed to be an effective politician and also several different components of actually running for President, such as debates and primaries; donations and endorsements; diplomacy and campaign stops; and brief job descriptions of the President and several members of her cabinet. The Madam President Game is about the candidate herself and provides education and solutions to illuminate a path to success. The object of the game is to get to the White House and become President of the United States. While the game is competitive, it is also cooperative and seeks to educate girls on the skills and abilities necessary for a run for political office as well as inform them about many aspects of a political campaign
