Large Printable United States Wall Map with State Names

Print the 50 states individually and assemble to create a bulletin board sized map of the United States perfect for class projects in a variety of subject areas! Who doesn't need a customizable U.S. map in their classroom?

The completed map measures approximately 5 feet by 3 feet and includes blank outlines of the fifty states, each containing only the state name. States are scaled for size so that they can be neatly assembled into a large map.

Ideas for Use:

*Students researching the 50 states can add capital cities, state information, bodies of water, or landforms to the map. Assign each student a state or two to complete, then display the results of their hard work!

*This makes a great bulletin board or hallway display!

*Create a giant puzzle for the practice of state locations by using cardstock or laminating individual states. Perfect for center time!

*Great for the study of elections and voting statistics.

*Use as a "Getting to Know You" activity by having students mark locations they've lived, visited, or would like to explore.

*Keep an ongoing class map of places learned about or read about in a variety of content areas.

*Excellent tool for Westward Expansion themes of study!

***And much, much more!***
