Geography Vocabulary Bundle

Geography Vocabulary Bundle! Make studying geography FUN in whole groups, partners, individually, or centers with meaningful, research based strategies! This is a pack of map skills, landforms and states and capitals geography cards. I made them to be used as flashcards or task cards. I originally created them to help my ELL students learn all of the vocabulary that comes with teaching geography and soon found out that all of my students LOVED to use them!

I tried to make these cards more engaging for students by designing them to look like geography trading cards. To make these cards I print them out back to back on the copy machine using card stock so they look and feel like real trading cards. Printing them out on regular paper works also.
