We've heard from other expat American families
that while their children may receive a more global education,
a strong US geography base might be lacking
Clever Santa delivered a family game this year
which teaches (or reviews) US state locations, capitals, and state nicknames
We played it on our vacation,
tirelessly

Targeted for children 8+,
this game is fun for tweens too
It is a great concept with many tasks,
such as finding the closest state and finding hidden names within capitals
It later brought up interesting dinner discussion such as
''Why is it called Rhode Island when it is not an island?''
''What is the proper pronunciation of Montpelier?''
''How do you call someone from Juneau?''
Hmm, good questions
My only complaint about this game is
it is not available for other countries or continents
(hint, hint Gamewright)
Many Europeans are surprised that Americans often can't name
the capitals of all 50 US states
This is because many capitals are in small cities that
rarely make national news and seldom visited
Hoping you are having a wonderful new year so far
Thank you so much for reading :)
Sharing about this game only because it has been a great find for our family.
I received no free product or compensation for this post.
