"Click
on the Capital City Garden" Quiz |
Try this fun challenge to locate the site of each capital in North America where a Capital Garden is planted.
How many capital cities can you find? How quickly can you find them?
|
1. Go to Journey North's online interactive map.
|
|
| 2. One-by-one, "zoom in" to each state and province. Look at the symbols (brown squares) that show where Journey North gardens have been planted.
|
|
|
3. While you work, carefully inspect a map that shows the location of state and provincial capitals. If you think a symbol on the Journey North map marks a capital city garden grab the "i" tool (see below) and "click on" that symbol. Try to click on as few symbols as possible as you work to find the gardens. Don't be fooled by gardens that aren't close to capital cities!
|
|
4. When you click on the correct location, you will find a colorful icon that proclaims the location of a "Journey North Capital City Garden."

5. Try this example. Can you find the location of the Capital City Garden in Concord, New Hampshire?

Variations |
|
| A. After you've found the gardens, play over and over. Time yourself to see how quickly you can find all of the gardens. | |
B. Missing gardens: Find the name of the city in each state/province CLOSEST to the capital city. (Unfortunately, we don't have gardens yet in every capital city.) (*In the spring, you may want to use these "nearby gardens" as substitutes for the missing capital cities.) |
