The Prime Minister’s job is to make our country as good as it can be. But every Prime Minister we’ve ever had has been a grown-up! What if the grown-ups weren’t in charge? What would children do if they ran the country?

Kindergarten loved reading the story, ‘If I was Prime Minister’ by Beck and Robin Feiner. After reading the story, the boys competed a writing activity in which they thought about what they would do if they were Australia’s Prime Minister.
