Kidz Activities' Corner!!!

Hey kids, sharpen those geography pencils! Can you find the name of the United State cities hidden in each of these sentences? Here’s an example:
You can find Timmy on the baseball diamond every spring, fielding grounders.
(answer: Springfield)
If you know what state the city is in, write that down too.

Okay, ready? Here we go!!!
1. Will you give Mom a hand with cleaning the living room?

2. “Rambo” is Eric’s favorite movie.

3. Tomorrow’s the big mac & cheese cookoff, so Janet will be cubing ham tonight till late.

4. I reckon my Aunt Talla has seen it all, at least in terms of self-destructive live-in boyfriends.

5. The 2004 shareholder report landed Bill eight months in a federal penitentiary.

6. Some “friends” of mine say you’d better have that rent on the first next month.

11. Get out of my garage, and take your little rock band with you.

12. “So,” the general asked the appraiser, “how much is the fort worth?”
Extra Credit: Can you find each of these cities on a map? You don’t actually have to go get a map, just answer yes or no.

Bonus!!! Canadian “Provinces”
Canada is another country on the continent America is on, where they call the states “provinces.” Can you find the Canadian “provinces” names hidden in each of these three sentences?
1. On tar I often get my feet stuck, while walking.

2. Did you see the little vial of her own plaque Becky brought back from the dentist?

3. “At times I think my psychological growth was arrested during my preadolescent years, leading to insurmountable sexual neuroses in my adult life and an inability to form healthy relationships with women,” Albert admitted.
