Passport Club
Here is the website for the national program. If you scroll to the bottom of their homepage, there is a wonderful game where you can practice learning your countries each month. Enjoy!
Place the State
This one is my favorite! It's a real challenge to figure out exactly where each state goes. This will help fifth graders get ready for those state and capital quizzes later in the year. Just click on the link below to play.
P.S. - My high score is 2 miles and 244 seconds. Can you beat it?
President Hangman
Here is a game the 5th graders will be playing during center time. I thought you might enjoy playing at home. Have fun!
Flag Tag
How well can you match up the countries to their flags?
States and Capitals
The fifth graders will start their state and capital quizzes int the spring, but it's never too soon to start preparing. These websites are a great way to help them study. Have fun!!
