Ugh...i Can't Do This!

[Amphiptere]

We heve a test tomorrow. We have to find the location of 25 states on the map. That i'm okay with. But we also have to know all 50 states and capitals for a matching quiz. I just found this out right now, and have to go to bed in two hours. There's no way I can memorize 50 states and capitals in 2 hours. I live in canada and this is my first time learning about the USA. Is there any easy way to remember them all? I can't fail this test!

Yes! There is an easy way to memorize the states, but it still takes some time. There's a song you can look up that sings all 50 states in alphabetical order, and I still remember it from like 4th grade, but that's all I can tell you.

[faith]

the states shouldnt be that hard but i mean with like the capitals study as much as u can tonight and then 2morrow on the bus etc.,

This is the song I learned to for my states and capitals





Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Indianapolis, Indiana

And Columbus is the capital of Ohio

There's Montgomery, Alabama, south of Helena, Montana

Then there's Denver, Colorado, under Boise, Idaho.

Texas has Austin, then we go north

To Massachusetts' Boston, and Albany, New York

Tallahassee, Florida, and Washington, D.C.

Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Trenton's in New Jersey, north of Jefferson, Missouri

You've got Richmond in Virginia; South Dakota has Pierre

Harrisburg's in Pennsylvania and Augusta's up in Maine

And here is Providence, Rhode Island, next to Dover, Delaware.

Concord, New Hampshire, just a quick jaunt

To Montpelier, which is up in Vermont

Hartford's in Connecticut, so pretty in the fall

And Kansas has Topeka; Minnesota has St Paul.

Juneau's in Alaska and there's Lincoln in Nebraska

And it's Raleigh out in North Carolina and then

There's Madison, Wisconsin, and Olympia in Washington

Phoenix, Arizona, and Lansing, Michigan.

Here's Honolulu; Hawaii's a joy

Jackson, Mississippi, and Springfield, Illinois

South Carolina with Columbia down the way

And Annapolis in Maryland on Chesapeake Bay.

Cheyenne is in Wyomin' and perhaps you make your home in

Salt Lake City out in Utah, where the Buffalo roam

Atlanta's down in Georgia, and there's Bismarck, North Dakota

And you can live in Frankfort in your old Kentucky home.

Salem in Oregon; from there we join

Little Rock in Arkansas; Iowa's got Des Moines

Sacramento, California; Oklahoma and its city

Charleston, West Virginia, and Nevada, Carson City.



Hope it helps!!!
