A crash course on America's Geography


My grand parents are here and they got me a jig-saw puzzle on America Map for my birthday. That evening I built the puzzle with the help of Uppili thatha and mastered almost all the fifty states. When Mom builds the puzzle and asks me 'Get me Wyoming or Utah', I can grab them and place right where mommy points. The best part of it was, each state has a picture famous for it. For example, Tennesse has a Guitar - meaning Country music. Florida has space shuttle etc. And I associate each state with the picture on it and that adds my General Knowledge. In three or four sittings I mastered all of the states. Am now working on Continents of the World.
