In the Classroom
Though the ads can be a bit distracting, this would be a great site to help students review their United States geography. Introduce the site on the interactive whiteboard before allowing the class to answer the questions as a whole. To motivate students to participate, let student volunteers come up and select their answers on the interactive whiteboard. Teams can compete to see which can do it the quickest or most correct to add a competitive edge to the activity.
At Home
As a rainy day activity, play this state matching game with your children. Start off with your own state and draw its approximate shape. Then learn the shapes of other states near where you live or where your relatives live, building up to recognizing the state shapes of all 50!
