I Can Name That State and Capital! Use Mnemonic to Learn United States Geography FLEX

Does your child like to learn things in unique ways?  Would you like your child to learn the capitals of the 50 states of the USA? Come to my classroom where we will use mnemonic devices to learn the US state capitals. I will use google slides to demonstrate different mnemonic devised to help them memorize the names of different state capitals.  Students will learn different mnemonic devices to help them remember the names of different state capitals. We will be learning 12-13 state capitals each week and I will provide a printable worksheet for students to fill out for future review.  After class, learners will play a short fun Kahoot game to assess what states they learned and which states they need to review.  If your child does not know the name of all 50 states of the USA, I recommend they take my class, I Can Name That State! Use Mnemonic to Learn United States Geography, before taking this class.
 
Each week learners will have a video (using a mnemonic device to learner US states), a Kahoot! game style quiz and a worksheet for review.  During the week, I will also upload random pictures of states for learners to identify their capital. 

I will put a link to the Kahoot game in the classroom. The short fun Kahoot game will assess what states capitals learners have learned and which states capitals they need to review. Learners can take the Kahoot game as many times as they would like in the allotted time (5 days).  This class is best suited for students that have already learned the names and locations of the 50 states of the USA. If your child does not know the name of all 50 states of the USA, I recommend they take my class, I Can Name That State! Use Mnemonic to Learn United States Geography, before taking this class.

This class does require the download of a separate free app, Kahoot, which you can download to your phone or iPad.  Kahoot is a free student-response tool for administering quizzes; we will be using it as a game show.  To make this class fun and exciting your child will need two devised; one for zoom and one for Kahoot. Please make sure you do this before the class starts.  It is recommended each student have both Zoom and Kahoot open during this lesson, therefore, having a second device (such as a cell phone or tablet) for Kahoot will give your child the best experience possible.
