Elementary School Geography Handouts

This activity is an engaging and accessible way for your students to practice and strengthen their knowledge of American geography as well as states and capital cities!

Students will be tasked with identifying a mystery state that can be only be solved through the process of elimination. They will be prompted to use a political map of America to solve various puzzles and eliminate 49 states until they have only one left, thus solving the mystery.

This is a great way to review states and capital cities and basic map skills. The print version requires that students have access to a physical map but there is a link to a map in the digital version.

THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES:

• FIVE puzzles for students to solve using a political map of the United States and their knowledge of American geography
• Answer Key
• Link to Digital Version

I do my best to make sure every product is free of typos or mistakes, but please feel free to message me with any corrections or concerns.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Let your students know you care and put a smile on their faces!

Sometimes, we as teachers are the only ones in their lives to "make it a great day" and are the only ones that can make these special occasions special to them. Your students will love these geography-themed Valentine's Day cards and laugh at the play on words using country names. Your students will have a blast figuring out what each Valentine's card means and sharing them with their classmates.

Examples:

Even if Iran out of rhyme, you would still be my valentine!

(Translation: Even if I ran out of rhyme, you would still be my valentine! In the shape of Iran)

Bolivia or not, you still mean the world to me!

(Translation: Believe it or not, you still mean the world to me! In the shape of BolivIa)

How to Print:

• Print off Valentine's cards on cardstock and cut out
• If printed and cut correctly, fit A2 4.3/8 x 5.3/4 envelopes (if you choose to use envelopes)
• If you wish to or your school district allows, glue or tape a wrapped candy to the card.
• Do not forget those students who have allergies or eat differently and are dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, or GMO-free. "Enjoy Life" brand candy, cookies, and treats meet all these requirements.
