We had a test in Social Studies on the 50 states earlier this week, so, to help me study, Mom pulled out a game called 10 Days in the USA.
In 10 Days in the USA, you are trying to draw cards for your trip that can be arranged in an actual trip format. You can walk across the border, drive through a state, or hop a plane to a state of the same color. Both the cars and the planes take up a day of travel each.
I appreciate the education that comes from this game. This education is greatly enhanced by the little blurb about one of the given state’s most notable attractions.
Ironically, the day after I played this with my mother, we did something similar in Social Studies. It was quite amusing.
Make sure to read up on the rules for Alaska and Hawaii, as I found those both a little confusing first time around.
