{free} Indiana State Printables

In preparation for next year’s study of the USA I am creating State Printable Packs for our unit – From Sea to Shinning Sea! Studying the US States is a great way to get to know our great country, meet famous Americans, learn about natural habitats & their animals, famous landmarks, history, and have LOTS of fun!! I am thrilled that my Preschooler & 1st grader can learn side-by-side! The packs have lots of activities suitable for kids Preschool – 5th+ grade! Did I mention it is FREE!!

I will share more about how we are using them later, but basically we have BIG binders with a tab for each state. Each state pack has:

• State Fact sheet (blank & filled in – I suggest using the blank one for older children and the filled in one for younger children who do not have the skills or patience to fill it in)
  • Nickname
  • Capital
  • Chief Products
  • Brief History
  • Things to Sea
  • Weather
• State Fact Sheet #2
  • Where is the state in the US?
  • Longitude & Latitude Map Skills
  • Math Activity as you travel from state to state
  • Did you Know section
  • Population & Size Graphs
• Map Work (including time zone activity)
• Number practice (from 1-50) – practice writing and counting
• Plant Cards (common to the state)
• Animal Cards (common to the state)
• Practice writing letters A to Z –twice
• OTHER – You will find about 20 sheets of other activities. These will incorporate educational skills with facts about the state. For example you may use a measure to see how tall the Missouri Gateway Arch is compared to the Willis Tower. Or you may learn skip counting with the Wright brothers. Play a KFC Chicken Sight Reading Game when learning about Kentucky or roll your Way through the Indianapolis Speedway. Learn about Nocturnal animals and coal. Or build a shape car while learning about Michigan’s Henry Ford. Each pack is different in this area – so browse for the activities that fit your child’s needs, interests, and skills.

Do you live in this state? If you live here & notice I missed a major thing from your state PLEASE let me know! I do research, but if I miss something big about your state please shoot me an email and I will add it to the pack =-)

If you are planning on visiting Indiana don’t miss seeing the world’s largest Children’s Museum, sleep in train that has been converted to a hotel (so cool!) or the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!
