I thought of this AFTER my visit to Iowa. Here is a game to identify some possibly famous or well known names, places, words that begin Io:

Io – Moon of Jupiter
Ion – Electrically charged atom
Iolanthe – Operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan
Ionesco – French playright, i.e., Rhinocerous
Iowa – Midwestern US state
Iodine – Element; used in medicine as an antiseptic
IOU – Written acknowledgement of a debt
Iota – A very small quantity; also, ninth letter of the Greek alphabet
Ionia – Ancient region of Asia Minor colonized by the ancient Greeks
Ionosphere – A region of the earth’s atmosphere
