As I have become more aware of how conservative I am, I have had more of a desire to learn the history of our country. I am not ashamed to admit that I had NO idea where any state was located, especially since I used this website and now know all 50 states locations and their capitals. I am definitely going to make sure that I do this with my kids and I just wanted to pass this on so we can ALL educate our children and teach them the real history of our country. God Bless
If you want to learn all 50 States in alphabetical order just sing this song - over and over.....
“Fifty Nifty United States”

I learned this in 5th grade and have never forgotten the song, I’m in my late 40’s now :)
That’s fun, but boy, you get one in the middle of anywhere and it’s hard to set them just right. I was only 50 miles off for Colorado starting out and it dinged me.
i love that clip. thanks!
Had one of those in my bathroom as a kid too. The daily squat was never more educational.
I’m still looking for states 51 thru 57.
Here is a little trick to learn—and remember—the Great Lakes: “H.O.M.E.S”
HOMES= Heron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
