Map the US States, Capitals and NBA Teams - Celebrate Basketball Day Nov 6th

Thank you for your interest in the product: Map the NBA from

 Happy Hive Homeschooling / Homeschool Holiday.com.

This activity is designed to combine map skills with an interest in Basketball. Basketball day is November 6th, James Naismith's birthday. Naismith invented this sport to be played inside during the winter. The first game was played with a basket and a soccer ball.

 I have provided an introduction to basketball video to get the lesson started. It is designed to help those who may not be as familiar with the sport excited about the project, and those already familiar will enjoy the refresher!

 Learners first map the state names, capitals, and then they add the NBA team names color coding them according to the 2 divisions.

 A great resource for Mapping the NBA teams without going all over the internet is actually Wikipedia. On their page for the National Basketball Association, under the heading TEAMS is the perfect resource.

 I have included this map, as it is in the public domain with a QR code you can print for learners to reference if desired, or simply hang it in a central location for them to scan and use.

 Homeschool Holiday has plenty of great resources in the STORE for your everyday teaching or with that Holiday twist! Go check out the latest, because at Homeschool Holiday - there is always something to celebrate!
