All fifty states in alphabetical order, from Alabama to Wyoming, each with a line for its capital city. It fits on one landscape page in three columns. Page 2 is the answer key with every capital filled in. Learn them with the US map with capitals first: seeing where each capital sits helps it stick. Then try this sheet, mark it, and redo only the ones you missed.

Tips for learning the capitals

  • Learn five a day: in ten days you will know all fifty.
  • Make up a picture for the hard ones: Boise sounds like “boys” in Idaho.
  • Say the state and capital together out loud: “Texas, Austin”.
  • Check where each capital is on the US map with capitals.
