Matching | Let’s play a colony identification and matching game.
To get started on our lesson about the establishment and settlement of the early American colonies, let’s play a matching game. Using the map of the United States and the 13 colonies below, first try to identify the colonies by name, then group them by the region where they were established.
First, use the map to locate the original colonies. Second, drag and drop the colony below into its designated geographic region.
As we continue the discussion of the original 13 colonies, reflect on what you think you know about the colonies and their development. Use your knowledge to better understand any new and interesting information we will uncover.
