50 United States flags and abbreviations Google Sheets interactive activity
By TamiaDesigns
Looking for a different way for your students to work on the abbreviations for the 50 US states? This fun, interactive, and self-correcting, Google Sheets activity uses the states' flags as well as the names of the US states as the prompts. As students complete the answers correctly, they earn guesses at a mystery word, in a hangman-style game. (However, rather than trying to guess the word before the hanging man is complete, they are trying to do it before their battery is drained!) All the mystery words they are trying to reveal are related to US citizenship:
1. government
2. citizen
3. president
4. freedom
5. allegiance
There are some suggested discussion questions / fairly open-ended writing prompts to go with each of these words.
There are 5 sets of ten flags presented, with the states in the order that they joined the union. You will get access to 6 Google Sheets files - one with all 50 flags, and the other 5 files have 10 questions each. You will share the files with your students the same way you share any Google files. You choose whether to give them one file with all 50 states, or assign the other files individually.
Works well as a do-now / bell-ringer activity.
Neither you nor your students needs to have any knowledge of Google Sheets - students click on drop-down menus to access the questions, and type letters in boxes. They will get immediate on-screen feedback as to whether their answer is correct or not. In the file download I have included an answer key to all of the questions, including the mystery words,

Continents and Oceans Boom Cards no-print digital activity
By TamiaDesigns
Looking for a geography activity that goes beyond writing continent and ocean names on a map? This NO PREP, self-checking, digital social studies activity hosted at Boom Learning starts by reviewing the names of the continents and oceans. Students hear the names as well as read them. Then your students will build their geography knowledge by identifying the continents (North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, Europe) and oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, Southern) using both shape and location.
There are 45 cards in this interactive Boom Cards activity hosted at Boom Learning. The first 4 cards introduce (or review) the names of the continents and oceans. The remaining cards quiz the students on these facts.
Cards 1-4 will always play first, and then cards 5-45 will play in random order. If you are using a FastPin, all 45 cards will play every time, otherwise 24 cards will play each time, so each round will be slightly different.
Card 1 - students click to hear the names of the continents;
Card 2 - students read the names of the continents for themselves (but can click to hear them if they need help.) ;
Card 3 - students click to hear the names of the oceans;
Card 4 - students read the names of the oceans (but can click to hear them if they need help.)
There are written and audio directions on each card, but the audio recording of the continent and ocean names is not repeated after the first 4 cards.
Cards 5-45 contain a variety of activities:
• Listen to the name of the continent or ocean and click on it on the map
• Identify which continents are NOT visible on the map
• Identify continents from their outline
• Drag names of oceans to the correct place on the map
• Identify the ocean marked by an X on the map
• Identify the ocean that is to the north/south/east/west of a given continent. (Those maps are marked with North / South / East / West)
• Identify which of the names is NOT a continent
• Identify which of the names is NOT an ocean
