Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Whoever said that learning about U.S. geography had to be boring must not have read The Scrambled States of America. We fell head-over-heels for Laurie Keller's hilarious story and knew that it had the making for a great game. As with her book, we hope our game provides a fun way to enrich basic knowledge of U.S. geography. Players learn the names, capitals, nicknames, shapes and positions of the states through a myriad of visual teasers, language riddles and geography challenges. After playing, you'll see that there's more to the 50 States than meets the eye!

Product Description

Quick! Find a state that ends with the letter A. Now find one that borders Tennessee. Have fun learning about the United States in this madcap game of observation and quick reflexes. Collect cards by matching states to a Scramble card. Or "Go the Distance" and find a state's closest neighbor. Whoever scrambles to match and collect the most state cards wins. Includes 50 scramble cards, 50 state cards, 4 U.S. maps, and rules.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun and educational game, October 5, 2007
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Scrambled States (Toy)
My son (6 years old) loves this game. It is the one that he asks to play most often. We read the book by L. Keller first (although it is not a requirement to play the game). If you do read the book however, it explains why all of the states are scrambled and why they have to be sent home. The game requires that you can read. You need to be able to read the name of the state, the state's capital and it's nickname. During the course of the name you will need to locate, for example, any state in your current pile, which has a capital which has 3 or more syllables. The player who can locate the state in his/her pile that match the specified criteria first, can send the state home. The player with the most states sent home at the end of the game wins!

5.0 out of 5 stars No Experience needed!, August 1, 2007
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Scrambled States (Toy)
I am a sucker for slipping in education when kids aren't looking! This game gets participants noticing everything from colors, ABC's order, comparisons and contrasts (looking at the states individual details as well as the map as a whole), to measurement skills and to syllables and sneaks in US Geography too! My not yet reading 5 y.o. is able to play his own hand after two weeks of the game in the house!!! (We all help eachother anyway). Absolutely no prior US knowledge needed as all questions are based on the map and cards in the deck. (Even my adult English language learners enjoyed the challenge of practicing the language concepts to "prove" how much language they have mastered---or not!!! :) The fun definately overrides the "drag" of studying geography with this game, but the more facts you learn the better chance you have to WIN, so motivation is high to keep learning!!! Great value for the price, too.

This review is from: Scrambled States (Toy)
I originally bought this game for my classroom, but I brought it home this summer to play with my kids. I play this game all the time with my 7 year old. It is fun for both adults and kids (who can read). My son also has learned the states, an added bonus!
