I Can Name That State! Using a Kahoot game to Test Your Knowledge of US States

Does your child love to play games?  Would you like your child to practice the geography of the 50 United States? Come to my classroom where we will play a fun game to find out if they know all 50 US states of America. In the class, we will use the Kahoot game to test their knowledge of identifying states.  This game includes identifying states by their shape and location on a map.  I will ask students to identify different states, and they will answer using a different app, Kahoot.  Kahoot is interactive software that allows students to answer questions all at the same time. Students will race against the clock and each other to answer the questions correctly.  Students will receive praise for correct answers, and the top three winners will be recognized at the end of the game. I will also give students hints as needed to help them remember the correct answer. This class is best suited for students that have already learned all 50 U.S. states and would like to test their knowledge.  

This class does require the download of a separate free app, Kahoot, which you can download to your phone or iPad.  Kahoot is a free student-response tool for administering quizzes; we will be using it as a game show.  To make this class fun and exciting your child will need two devised; one for zoom and one for Kahoot. Please make sure you do this before the class starts.  It is recommended each student have both Zoom and Kahoot open during this lesson, therefore, having a second device (such as a cell phone or tablet) for Kahoot will give your child the best experience possible.
