Rainy Day With The States

During our impromptu spring break this week we had a rainy day :(

After our adventures on Monday and the wonderfully fun chaos of Tuesday, we woke slightly sun burned to a dreary, rainy day.  After deciding to stay in our p.j.'s and do nothing for a while, I figured I could fit in a little school time in the form of a game.  Enter....U.S.A. Bingo.



I have a 3rd grader and a 7th grader and they both love it!  My 3rd grader is just learning all of the states and their locations so this is such a fun tool.  My 7th grader gets to master his knowledge and I make him name the capital or a fun fact as he yells off a "bingo".   This bingo version brings color and fun to a rainy day. 

I love incorporating games like this to help secure and build knowledge in a fun way.  Sometimes I'm surprised how much more they learn and retain through these paths. 

We paid around $14 for our version shipped from Amazon.  I've also seen them used or you could use your next rainy day to make your own version with old cereal boxes :)
