50 States Game Project DUE DATE: ______

You are to create a game that includes information about the 50 states of the United States. Although the format for the game is your choice, you may use the following information for each state to create the game:

• State capital • State bird or flower or tree • State nickname • Location (bordering states – ex. What state is to the north of Florida?)

You may choose to fashion your game after a game show on TV (Jeopardy, Password, Pyramid, Hollywood Squares, etc.) or you may choose to fashion your game after a well known board game (Monopoly, Candy land, Trivial Pursuit, etc.). If you have other ideas for your project, you will need to run them past your teacher.
