There's a song in the McGraw/Hill Share the Music fifth grade level called "Fifty Nifty United States". My music kids memorize all 50 states after about three music classes.

Sing it! Music does wonders for memory.

If you can't do it as a song...make up your own RAP with the rhythms.

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Conneticut...
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massechusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennesee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

There they are in alphabetical order from my memory of the song. You can do it! Its fun! Make up your own if you can't find Fifty Nifty United States.

I'm from Brasil and Memorized all the states... I memorized them by learning the neighbor states and then memorizing the states by there positions. I'd get and blank map and fill in the name of each state until you can write them down without making one mistake. I had to take a test on the 50 U.S. states and even the 50 African countries and this helped me the most!

Try to associate each state's first letter with something that is familiar to you. Turn each letter into a phrase or sentence.

Sample:

In music class, the teacher will show students to memorize the lines in the G Cleft as "Every Good Boy Does Fine" in place of EGBDF.

You can do the same for the 50 states.



its called Wakko's States but it does the capitols too but not too long pretty easy to learn after like an hour

Yeah a catchy tune may work, but I offer this. Memory by association.

Envision a map of the US, and it's time zones or areas,,, IE. East, Central states, West, and do your memory thing sectionally thinking of each state on that map you have in your head.

There is a song that I learned in elementary school, and it puts the states in alphabetical order, and they rhyme. I can't remember the name of it, but it really helped me.

Definately sing it. Music is the best way to remember something (although, I have to admit: I learned a "memorize the states" song in elementary school and had all the states memorized. Just recently I went through the song again and I'm missing about 3 states. Now I

Here's an excellent way to learn the states, because you not only learn the state's names, you learn their locations as well.

If you are not a "memorize the names" person like me, use visuals. Keep a mental map of the US in your head.

If you have a general idea of what the US looks like, you can start to fill in the gaps around the borders - states like washington, california, florida and texas are easy ones.

Once you learn those, start to learn which states touch the border states. Pretty soon you'll have their shapes and positions memorized, which makes it MUCH easier to remember what (and where) each one is. Then you can amaze your friends.

Use mnemonic device to help you.

Try to associate each state's first letter with something that is familiar to you. Turn each letter into a phrase or sentence.

In music class, the teacher will show students to memorize the lines in the G Cleft as "Every Good Boy Does Fine" in place of EGBDF.
