The U.S.

As we have been studying the United states my kids have enjoyed learning all the various facts. They love learning about the state animals the most. I try to incorporate fun activities to help them really memorize the facts as we go.

We use the Leapfrog Tag reader pen along with the map of the United States to practice finding the states. It also tells interesting facts that my kids really enjoy. We use the Leapfrog Tag National Geographic Kids cards to review and learn new facts about bird and sea animals as well as land animals.

We use both our globe and our small wall map to review locations of the states we are studying. My kids love getting up and moving while they are learning. It really helps to engage them in studying about the states. We have some puzzle both wooden and regular that we switch out that are The United States. I find the more hands on activities the more they retain the info.
