USA Activity Bundle Pack from Crafty Classroom: A TOS Crew Review

USA Activity Bundle Pack from Crafty Classroom

Ready for a road trip this summer? You will want to check out the USA Activity Bundle Pack from Crafty Classroom! We have been using this handy resource to keep learning while we travel.

The USA Activity Bundle is a downloadable PDF set containing 3 of their best-selling activity books:

U.S.A. State by State Activity Notebook
U.S.A. State Bird Art Cards
U.S.A. 50 State Mazes

Let me tell you about each of them:

U.S.A. Activity Pack - has a page for all 50 states. Activities for each state include coloring the flag, flower, bird, and location in the USA. In addition, students look up the state abbreviation, number, nickname and other fun facts and notes. A suggested accompaniment book is included, but facts can be found in the library or online.

I appreciated that each of my testers - 4th and 5th graders, could work on these independently. This is a great resource for multiple levels. They truly enjoyed looking up the information, and coloring, and the active process really helped them remember the information so much better than just reading it. We decided to do a page for each of the main states we were visiting (and lived in) this summer.

We are also using this resource in our USA geography study this upcoming year. The pages are really nicely done, with plenty of space for writing and coloring.

This pack also has a couple of games you can print out and create - USA Bingo & Roll Across America. My testers loved them!

U.S.A. State Bird Art Cards features a full color picture and fact card for each of the state birds (27 in all since some state share the same bird). The page also has a blank picture students can color themselves. This could be a fun way to keep track of backyard birds.

U.S.A. 50 State Mazes - my testers loved these! This is a set of a state-shaped maze for each state. The recommended age is Prek-3, but my testers had fun with them too. We printed one for each state that we traveled through, they had fun looking forward to the next state on our trip! It would be fun to laminate these and keep them in the car.
