learning the states {homeschool geography game}

it’s like torture to untie myself from the computer, or from a good book, or from a new recipe.  sometimes i get settled into my chair and focused on other worlds or new ideas for writing or a photography technique i’m dying to try, and before long the hours have passed and i’ve missed a moment.

game-playing pulls out my competitive side in the best of ways, makes us all giggle, and keeps us close together fighting for or against one another in head-sharpening ways.  in the “classroom” (as if we really use one of those for our myriad learning methods), it brings an element of fun that removes the drudgery i might have found as a kid, in the memory work that actually makes the rest of learning so much deeper.

when nat, the game’s creator, offered to send us his new game State Master, to try out as a possible asset to our learning repertoire, or anyone learning about America, we jumped at the chance.  this week, “population rank” has become part of Little’s vocabulary, and a-girl and e. have been battling to see who can learn the state nicknames fastest.   to be honest, when it first arrived, a “game” about state facts didn’t sound like a rousing family night activity.  that reminds me: remember, self, don’t put your bias on your kiddos when it comes to thinking learning activities might not constitute FUN.

    With a new school year starting, I thought it might be fun to do a homeschool geography project where we learn the states. The kids love these games and it is a great way to learn states and capitals. These games will help you work on pronunciation and spelling as well as review state facts.
