State Map Activities Printable Map Activites

Join us for some fun state map activities! While studying the United States, I started making different maps with major landmarks from each state. So far, I only have three put together, but stay tuned for more being added to the list!

I wanted my kids to learn about what the major landmarks and cities are in each of the United States. We started with my home state, Florida. I put together a large map, and labeled the different major cities. I printed picture graphics and made clues for the girls to locate each of the spots on the map. You can find my Florida project on my Tpt store – also included is a worksheet size version for a classroom.

As we went through the map, I left my computer on and we watched a few videos that went along with some of the pictures of the places in the state. I decided about an hour to this project so that we could take our time. (Note: most of these videos we did not watch all the way through!)
