8 Ways To Teach Geography For Kids That Hate It

There are a lot of ways to teach geography for kids without it being tedious bookwork that could be boring and mundane.  I love being able to teach in a hands-on way where kids have fun learning.  For me social science is the most boring subject ever!  Especially in elementary school.  Learning about the states and capitals is so dry.  Here are a few great ways to get kids into learning and being active in their learning.  Great for kinesthetic learners.

1- Get a cell app that has all the states on it and check them off as you see them on licence plates.  For older children have them learn the capitals too. Search the iTunes for ‘licence plate game.’  There is a few different ones that are all free. We reset the game before going on a road trip.

2- Get the Licence Plate Game board by Melissa and Doug.  Flip each one as you see them.  Great for road trips.

3- Check out the game Game of the States.  It is a fun game for ages 8+.  Kids learn about the states as they try to buy and sell their goods.  This is a great STEM game too.  Made by Winning Moves Games.  Card for each state shows the shape of the state and says the capital, flower, bird and export along with an interesting fact.

4-Start a coin collection with quarters from states.  Identify where they are from and get a storage case for them to keep track of the ones you have and which are missing.

5- Take a ROAD TRIP!!!  Not kidding.  You can do a 1 day trip, a weekend, or longer.  Plan and map out all the interesting sites.  Research to make sure they are open the days you’ll be passing through and if there is a cost to see the site.  You can talk to your kids about the background of the site while you are enroute there.  Check out our trip to Hearst Castle & Cambria.
