Back to Basics, 50 States Style

Written by Lawline Staff | Feb 23, 2012 6:53:28 PM

In an attempt to channel our elementary school education, I had Lawline split into small groups with some brave individuals standing alone.  Each group and individual received a pen and paper and was instructed to write down, as fast as they could, all 50 states.

My reasoning behind this was 2 fold;

  1. Don't be afraid to go back to basics, i.e. channeling songs you learned in grade school or little tricks teachers showed you.
  2. 2, 3, 4 etc heads are better than 1.  Emphasizing the importance of team work.

Something as simple as naming all of our countries' states can seem to be difficult and this activity reminded us how its okay to keep it simple and start from the beginning.
