Each capital city on the map has a numbered dot. Children write the name of the capital on the matching line, so the sheet works as a printable states and capitals test. The last page is a labeled answer key with every capital in red.

Practice first with the states and capitals quiz, where you can type each capital and see your score, then use this worksheet to check that it sticks on paper. Younger children can keep the US map with capitals beside them and copy the names across.

Tips for using it

  • Split the 50 into the five regions and do one region a day.
  • Ask for the state and the capital on each line for a harder test.
