Ancient Greeks used pebbles to vote! Imagine you're in a big crowd, and you need to pick someone as your leader. Everyone gets a small stone, one for 'yes' and one for 'no'. You put the stone in a jar or a bowl, and whoever has more stones wins. It's like choosing your favorite classmate with just a handful of rocks!
Examples
- Voting with pebbles is like choosing your favorite pizza topping, you just pick one and put it in a bowl.
- Imagine everyone in your class voting for the best student with rocks instead of hands.
- Your teacher gives you two marbles, red for 'yes' and blue for 'no'. You drop them into a box, and the person with more red marbles wins.
