Stack the States™ Lite app review: help kids learn about the states

Stack the States™ Lite

Price: Free

Stack the States™ Lite by Dan Russell-Pinson helps elementary school aged kids learn about the 50 states.

Rather than teaching kids in the typical way this app uses fun and engagement to teach kids about the 50 states. Not only will it capture their attention but it will encourage them to play and keep learning more each time.

This app will help them learn about the state capitals, abbreviations, bordering states, state shapes, location on the map, flags, and nicknames. Each level that is completed and learned about will earn kids another random state to explore. These states will form on the map that is customized, showing only the states the child has learned.

Features of this app include the ability to track progress on the customized map, there are hundreds of questions, the ability to play with up to six player profiles, sound effects and music, and high resolution pictures of some of the most well-known and photographed U.S. landmarks. Kids will use their hands to move, touch, and drop the animated states on the screen. To win a level you'll need to build a stack of states and keep building until they reach the checkered line.
