FOUR UNITS
Game opens to an animation and song, and then the student chooses a unit from
a menu.
• Puzzle Play Student chooses a U.S. region from the
map and arranges the puzzle-piece states in their correct spaces.
• Name It Student chooses from “State Names,”
“State Capitals,” “Major Cities,” “State Landmarks,”
and “State Abbreviations.” Then, he or she answers a question from
the category.
• Travel the U.S. Student must travel through
the states that will allow him or her to move from a starting state to a final
destination, by clicking on adjoining states and correctly identifying the states
“en route.”
• State Search Student selects a region and identifies
the states in that region. When the state is identified correctly, its puzzle
piece will show. The goal is to identify all fifty states of the U.S. and to
complete the entire puzzle.
