Description
Check out this engaging set of task cards that focuses on U.S. states and capitals. Upper elementary and middle school learners can use this activity to practice and/or re-enforce their skills as they apply what they’ve learned to completing these 20 task cards. The cards were designed with 4 different styles. While each focus on states and their capitals, the answers are found using various skills. Learners will answer via multiple choice, providing the name of a capital to the given name of a state, providing the name of a state to the given name of the capital, and providing the state capital based on the geographic clue given about a state. Along with the variety of questions, these cards provide learners with various facts about the states, including the year of statehood, the state flag, the state flower, and the state bird. This set of cards is great in that they focus on only 20 states and capitals. This allows your learners to break down a larger task into something more manageable. Rather than focus on all 50 states, they can give their attention on a fewer number and continue once they reach mastery. This set of cards includes states from Alabama through Maryland, in alphabetical order. Use this product as a fun alternative to simply memorizing and repeating facts. Your learners will enjoy getting up and moving as they learn. Task cards are great for indoor or outdoor learning. Not only that, but if you print the cards on durable paper and laminate them, they can be used year over year. This saves you time and money. Cards are available in a color version, as well as a black and white version. An answer key is also provided.
