Description
On your mark, get set, GO! Study the Speed Limit in the United States with this unique activity pack.
Use it to celebrate 55MPH Day, January 2 or anytime with your little car loving kids!
The first speed limit activity asks kids to color the states according to the included speed limit chart. This is a great mini-mapping lesson for the 50 states.
Alternatively, you can use the blank map of the US (provided), and have older kids fill in the states, use their abbreviations, or simply color by code to indicate understanding.
I have also included pages so learners can design their own speed limit signs. One contains the words SPEED LIMIT and one is blank. I recommend printing these on cardstock, or mounting them to construction paper when finished.
You can easily turn this into a writing activity by asking learners to write about why they think the speed limit they picked is beneficial to society. Is their speed limit for the bikes in the neighborhood, skateboards, cars, etc. Be creative with the assignment. There are a few inspirational writing papers to spark creativity.
Finally, match the speedometer and the speed limit sign in a “Memory Game” and then focus on their handwriting (trace, print or cursive) with some inspirational copy work relating to speed limits.
