Game Zone Great States - Fun and Educational Geography Game for Ages 7+ - An Engaging Way to Learn about the 50 States with Friends and Family

I wanted to find a game my homeschool kids could play to help them learn the states, their locations, and a few facts. I didn’t expect it to be such a hit. We do alter the rules a little when we play but there’s lots of flexibility. They now can quickly find states and are coming close to memorizing the map all while learning passively in a fun way!

Great game for learning about The 50 states. Parents will learn as well.

Very giftable, learn while you play, good for all ages

We have enjoyed playing this game and it is very useful for learning a lot about the United States of America. It comes with a timer, but we have opted to play without it as it is only useful in remembering information and has no real use for the learning part. Once we learn more, then we will enjoy the added excitement on being timed for the answers. Our kids have benifited a lot from this and it's prevented them from getting discouraged.The game also helps you learn the abbreviations of each state as well as the capitals and largest cities.The playing card sets it comes with are the lowest quality I think I've ever seen. Seems like just big cardboard cutouts rather than real "cards". At the cost of the game, I was surprised to find such flimsy cards.But that is the only negative we could say. It's a fun game to play and we would still recommend it.

Loved the game and cards. My 9 year old grandson (with dyslexia) loves reading the cards and then finding the answers on the board. He is very interested in geography. We've played it many hours at a time.

Your kids will love this! Kids can look on the game board to find the answers on the states!

Love playing this board game with my grandsons -- they have learned so much about state facts!!

Bought this for my 7 year old who loves maps and geographical facts. It’s a decent game to learn or figure out information, but the materials are flimsy and the cards need a MAJOR review. The box split after one use, and the timer broke after two (the timer has almost all plastic innards and can’t stand up to kid and teenage handling of it, but the bell is annoying, so I’m not super upset at the broken timer, to be honest).Most of the questions are fine, but I’m a professional editor and some of the questions made me cringe with incorrect syntax, missing prepositions, random capitalization, lack of parallelism with regards to numerals, and awkward wording. Some of the questions also are wrong:Name the 2 states that start with “O” (there are three)Name the 3 states that border the Pacific Ocean (there are five)All in all, an OK game for learning, but you need to go through the cards first and fix any errors.
