Spark Curiosity of the 50 States of America for Your Kids
If you're looking for a simple, fun, and FREE way to help your kids learn more about each of the 50 States in the America, you'll love this set of printable activities!
Geography has been one of those homeschool subjects that my boys and I have touched upon but never really dove into.
And that's actually my fault 😳
I've never been that into geography. I didn't have much exposure to it in public school. And when I did, it didn't seem to stick (I still have to think really hard about which capital goes to which state).
Plus, I'd focus on core subjects (like math, language arts, history, and science), leaving homeschool enrichment up in that air (which never works well for our homeschool - I need to have it written down as a reminder in my planner).
And geography isn't even really enrichment! It's part of social studies/history.
So, I'm taken the blame on this oversight 😉
Luckily, my boys love geography - and want to explore it more. This year, we're taking a tour of America and part of those learning adventures includes these free 50 states printable activities 🇺🇸

Creative Ways to Extend the Learning Fun with These Geography Printables
To make the most of these special geography fun activities, I have a few suggestions for you and your kids:
- Provide a variety of coloring and writing tools like
- pencils
- color pencils
- fine-tip markers
- erasable pens (this set is our favorite!)
- Print on white printer paper or cardstock (if you'd like extra durability)
- Laminate (or place in clear sheet protector) - write on with dry erase marker or crayon
- BONUS: Use as a placemat or poster to reinforce learning
- Make a binder to store and for a special keepsake and reference tool
- Pick how often you'll work on a state page - daily, once a week, other choice (like 3 days a week)
- Choose a time of day to work on the page - during homeschool morning time, as a brain break, or afternoon activity
- Chat about your own state and the name of each state that borders it. Oh, and try some state birthday celebrations for extra fun!
- Talk about the different states that you've visited - and ones that you'd like to add to your bucket list
- Encourage your students to use the back of a state worksheet or two to place the names of the states in alphabetical order

I am interested in the 50 states download. Thank you so much!
I realize these are free and I don’t want this to come across as ungrateful in any way, but do want to let you know there is a spelling error. You have facts spelled factts. Just thought I’d mention it in case you make a second edition.
So excited to use these to teach the states this coming year!!
We used your previous set last Summer and absolutely loved it! Thank you.
