I've never found anything more effective or fun for really teaching U.S. geography in a meaningful way! Our children choose and play this game on their own above all other games. The beauty of Snapshots is that all ages can play together, and your knowledge of geography grows by leaps and bounds each time you play. The object of the game is to take seven USA vacations. You can drive, fly, take a train, or a cruise ship—depending on what cards you are dealt. Watch out though, as bad weather or airport closings may block your plans. Players travel from state to state, learning as they go. When they reach their vacation destination, all players learn more about national landmarks and tourist spots from a "snapshot" picture postcard that includes interesting facts. Game includes USA map, gameboard, plenty of picture "postcards," weather and travel cards, 6 plastic cars, and illustrated instructions. For ages 6 and up
Here's a fun way to learn the names, shapes and locations of each state in the United States, along with their noteworthy crop or landmark. Choose a card, then hurry and search for the state before the timer rings. Includes top-quality gameboard, mechanical timer, 150 colorful picture quiz cards (so even non-readers can play), die, and playing tokens. My own advanced version of the game is to use the "Find the Shape" cards to name the capital city of the state pictured. For 2-4 players, ages 4-7 years. A wonderful learning resource that my kids enjoy!
If you are looking for practice in mapping skills and USA geography such as states, capitals, rivers, mountains, seaports, and more, then this is the game for you!

I love the fact that the instructions are so simple. This game is so easy to play, and yet full of learning value that keeps interest high! Ages 8 to adult, 2 to 4 players. Recommended by National Geographic . . . and me!
