A states and capitals game you can play right now.
This is one round of Map Pieces from Side by Play. Drag a state back onto the map, then find its capital. Five states and you’re done, so it fits before bed.
How to play it together
You read, they drag
Sit next to them and read the line at the top out loud. They do the dragging.
Let them miss a few
After two misses, the right spot lights up. Show me is there if they get stuck.
Find the capital together
Once the piece clicks in, the map zooms in. Ask them to find the star. That’s the capital.
Trade a fact
Read the fact card out loud, or tap Hear it and let the browser read it.
