Ultimately Stupendous United States flash cards (USUSfc)

THIS was a FANTASTIC FIND!!

This kid, Ryan, posted for FREE the United States flash cards he made. They are GREAT! They are INCREDIBLE! I thought I'd have to make my own to made cards that were simple enough for the kids to start learning and make another set of cards for when the kids were ready for more information.


These cards do all that in one set - FREE to print on your printer! The way the main picture in the cards is a blackline outline of the state, means that the kids just learning to identify the states can look at that, with a clue as one of the insets on the card. The flag and bird are the other insets on the map. As the kids progress, they can quiz themselves on capital, major cities and major geographic elements with all answers given on the back of the cards.


I'm printing them off today and I'll have the kids play:
Concentration
Go Fish
Drill each other
Rummy - with geographic regions
Coin Toss - They can lay them out and toss a penny and name the information on the card that the penny falls on
Sequence the cards - in order of adoption to the union, size, alphabetize by state name...


Because of this boy's effort and generosity, we can all share this great resource!
