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

Good game for my family. We all play (6yo and 9yo boys). My 6yo needs help with some of the questions but still enjoys being able to be a part of the game with us. It's a fun way for the kids to learn about our country's geography.

Kids love this game and are learning much

This is a GREAT game! We play several different ways ... my son likes setting the timer, the player has 60 seconds to answer as many cards as possible. The next player does the same thing. Whoever answers the most in that round gets a point. We use a white board to keep score and normally play 10 rounds. He is 9 and asks to play this EVERY day since we got it! Definitely worth the $$.

I watched Amazon for nearly 2 months for this item to be back in stock. We finally got our game and the quality is not all that great. Over all it's pretty good, but the timer broke before we even started our first game and the spinner is so cheaply made that it's a pain to use. *When we pass it from one player to the next, we have to take a moment to straighten it up and get the spinner arrow back in the center of the hole properly so it'll spin as it should. It's quite annoying. My boys (ages 6 & 4) played this game with their Daddy and me and we had fun with it. Learned quite a bit too. Of course, it's a little advanced for our 4 year old, but we were able to include him just fine.

Really fun game. My kids love playing it. Great for practicing geography and learning state capitals.

My son (10) LOVES this game. He asks to play every night. I have enjoyed playing as well. Both of us have learned a lot about all 50 states.

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.

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!
