“Statetris” is an online game tetris game that drops states instead of shapes. Really nice game to help students learn where states are located in a fun way. The variations of the game as difficulty increases are really cool and will certainly challenge your students. One note however, there is a quick ad (for HP I think).  Use at your own discretion. I’m adding this to my “America: Fifty Nifty States” LiveBinder.

I just added USA Printables the Presidents to my “Presidents for Kids” LiveBinder because of the massive amount of quality coloring pages they have for the Presidents of the United States including Barack Obama. Each coloring page has a description below it (not on the page) describing the presidential moment. These could be turned into booklets in many different combinations.  Screenshot I am also adding their 50 states coloring pages to my America’s Fifty Nifty States LiveBinder. Another treasure trove of printables.

Learning Games for Kids has customized games for every state.  This is a really nice collection of games featuring vocabulary and other details unique to each state. Above you will find a screenshot of the layout and games available for each state using Hawaii as an example. From the site: “Learning about your state’s symbols is a right of passage for all upper elementary kids. Remembering your state flower, your state bird, your state tree, your state motto and even nickname can be difficult, but learning with online games can make it much easier and much more fun! Playing games is something kids love to do, even if they end up learning something along the way.” …and I’m sure they will using these educational tools from Learning Games for Kids. I’m adding this to my LiveBinder “America: Fifty Nifty States” under the games and interactives tab.
