This song for kids by JEOGRAPHY is a unique, instructional take on the 50 State and Capitals of the USA - perfect for teachers to put in front of their students due to the child-safe nature of the content. Some may want to sing along with us by following the large-print lyrics on-screen, others tell us it's frankly embarrassing to even suggest it. The song orders our fifty, nifty United States in alphabetical order and includes lyrics onscreen. ---------------------- Learning Goal: Learn interesting, but somewhat random, facts about the 50 US capitals, and be able to relate each state to its capital. 300 Bonus points if you can remember the geographical location of some of the capitals, too. ---------------------- It's recommended that you check out the US States and Capitals video by Kids Learning Tube and the really fun one by Animaniacs as well. I'd venture to guess you will be doubly smart for the extra effort.
