πŸ”€ Ham Words Match

Hams have their own short words. Flip two cards to match each word with what it means. Pink cards are the ham words!

πŸ—ΊοΈ Map Hunt

A station gives you a report and says where they are. Can you find that state on the map? The red dot is Kentucky. Every 5 states you find earns a star.

Press NEW STATION to start.
Tiny states:

πŸ”§ Build a Radio Station

Every ham station needs a few parts. Tap a part, then tap where it goes. Watch out for silly things that don't belong!

🦊 Fox Hunt

Hams hide a little beeping transmitter called the fox, then hunt for it with radios. Walk around the park and listen: the beeps get louder and faster when you're close!

πŸ“Ά SIGNAL

You can also tap the light-green squares next to you to walk, or use the arrow keys on a computer.

β›ˆοΈ Weather Spotter Net

When storms come, hams called SKYWARN spotters tell the weather service what they see. Pretend you're on the weather net. What's the right thing to do?

Remember: in a real emergency, get safe first and a grown-up calls 911.

Everything here is pretend. Call signs are made up with 4 letters after the number, which are never given to real hams. Stars are saved only on this device and count toward your Kids Room badges and certificate.
