Many students take on the challenge of learning the capitals of the U.S. states to do well on a test, compete in a trivia competition, or even win a geography bee. It can be a challenge to learn all of this information. We have designed these flashcards to help students study the state capitals, abbreviations, and/or date of statehood of the 50 U.S. States. The flashcards can be used in the traditional way or you can print multiple sets, with different information on each, for use as a matching game.
The state capital and abbreviation flashcard maker creates 50 unique flashcards. The flashcard color, card size, and content can be customized to meet your preferences. The cards can include any combination of the state name, abbreviation, date of statehood, and capital city.
