Fast
Track Learning Card Games: America The BeautifulTeaching children to appreciate the diversity and richness
of our nation requires some ingenious approaches. The fast track learning system of flash cards and colorful
illustrations impressed our testers as the kind of tool that can indeed leave a
lasting impression on their children. Whether used in a school setting or at
home to bone-up for a test, states from Maine to Alaska came alive after playing
with this set. The repetitive yet
fun system helped bring both the names and major identifying features such as
bridges, museums and places of historical significance together.
If you are planning a trip with your kids, this is a great game to pack.

This educational board game is so much more than a sneaky
way to teach geography to kids, it's a heck of a lot of fun to play.
Your job is to find contiguous nations using a world map and playing
cards that list every nation in the world.
Our testers found the game to be an adrenaline rush since you are not
only playing against the clock, you are also playing against opponents who are
trying to string together a longer set than you.
The game is very challenging to be sure and with each playing we found
ourselves becoming more and more familiar with nations, we never knew before we
sat down to play.
