United States (with States)

Overview:

This activity provides a blank map of the United States with state borders but no labels. It is designed to help students identify and label the 50 states of the USA. Suitable for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and label the 50 states of the United States.
• Develop map-reading and geographical skills.
• Enhance knowledge of the states' locations and their regional relationships.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a blank map of the United States, showing only the borders of the states. Their task is to label each state correctly. Additional activities could include:

• Researching and adding key facts about each state (e.g., capital cities, population, famous landmarks).
• Colouring each state in a different shade to visually distinguish them.
• Learning about the geographical features of the USA, such as the Rocky Mountains, the Mississippi River, or the Great Lakes.

This activity helps students practise map-reading skills while building a deeper understanding of the states and geography of the United States.
