♥ Wonderful activity. My students struggle with map activities so this is something we are constantly working on. This activity was perfectly aligned to what we were doing.
♥ Kids loved interacting with the colonies in this manner. This product is great!
♥ Used as an introduction to the thirteen colonies and setting up our writing that contrasts the different area. Perfect text for that! The map that goes with it is awesome.
