United Plates of America
Can you think of a better way of celebrating independence day is there than guessing various US states by analysing crudely drawn pictures on paper plates?… Didn’t think so! We play this game in this weeks episode of our podcast which is linked below, but we also thought you may want to play along or see the pictures. Dad has also done us the honour of writing a “fact” about each of the depicted states… However, he doesn’t know a lot of facts about them so that may be a guessing game in itself to whether they are correct or not. Answers will be at the bottom of the page.
