I am here to share what we use to help learn the states and Capitals. My bucket list includes a road trip to these wonderful states and learning unique things about them. Fellow homeschool parents have also shared wonderful ideas on how to learn the States and Capitals. There are new apps that are recommended, board games, books, crafts, and YouTube resources found to be wonderful in learning the states and capitals. I hope you find these resources helpful in your homeschool adventure.
I will return with even more amazing resources!

50 States that Rhyme by Raggs
What I have found and used over the years:
Growing up, I learned the States by Alphabetical Order. Here is a fun YouTube of them in alphabetical order by 50 states that Rhyme, by Raggs https://youtu.be/JxHGiLYEaV8?si=fE5p3U-sacRe4gBo
I have since, purchased a curriculum from Confessions of a Homeschooler who teaches through the Regions. She calles it Roadtrip USA. It is a consumable with a CD option. https://store.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70_73_75&products_id=189
Highlights Magazine has a wonderful option for crafts, interesting facts, and fun games through a subscription they call, Which Way USA Book Club Subscription. It is consumable and very reasonably priced. https://shop.highlights.com/which-way-usa-club
This song incorporates the different regions that the Roadtrip USA uses with a fun intro song with each region having a fun theme. The regions are: West, Midwest, South, Northeast. 50 States and Capitals Song: https://youtu.be/ALmFA3P0urM?si=QKHwqdJqzoJjT3Lo
