About this resource
Description
Learning the fifty states and their capitals is a classic part of studying the geography of the United States. These US states and capitals flash cards make that memory work quick and organized. Each card pairs a state with a small map that shows exactly where the state is, so students learn the location and the capital city together instead of memorizing a list of names.
The set has 50 fold-over cards, one for every state, in alphabetical order. There is no double-sided printing: print the sheets, fold each one on the center line, and cut on the dashed lines. The front of each card shows the state name and a locator map of the country with that state colored in, and very small states are circled so they are easy to spot. The back shows the capital city. Students read the state, find it on the map, say the capital, and flip the card to check. The cards work well for partner quizzes, a social studies center, or quick review before a map test, and a complete answer key lists every state and capital.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips, and simple steps
- 50 fold-over state cards with a locator map on the front and the capital on the back
- An answer key listing all 50 states and their capitals
Why These Flash Cards Help
First, the locator map on every card ties each capital to a real place, which helps students build a mental map of the country. Second, short daily practice with flash cards is one of the best ways to move facts into long-term memory. Third, sorting the cards into a known pile and a practice pile lets each student spend time on the states they still need.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Practice one region at a time, then mix the regions together. Turn the game around by reading the capital and asking for the state. These 3rd grade geography flash cards also pair well with a blank map: after each card, have students find and label the state. Use the US states and capitals flash cards with the resources below for more map practice.
