Learning the 50 States!

Kids can learn almost anything when you put their learning into a song!  We are gearing up to learn the 50 states and I had to share this fun video with you.

It is always a good thing to encourage kids to work their brain with a little memorization.  We have been practicing the 50 Nifty United States song for about 2 weeks now and we almost have it!  Even the 3 year old has learned it…well at least up to Nevada 🙂

50 Nifty United States…
Warning:  This song is such a GREAT way to learn the states, but after 2 weeks of singing it constantly , it can drive you a little nuts!
I also like this one because it teaches both the states and capitals.
Yakko also has a cute one on the Nations of the World…
I hope this helps make learning geography a little more fun!  If you have any other great resources to share, please leave a link in the comment section below!  This will help all of us!

  1. SO VERY CUTE!!! I watched your girls twice and then even got my husband to watch it with me.

    BTW my kitchen-remodeling husband says he really likes your cabinets in the background. What? Only he would notice that. I couldn't focus on anything but those darling faces! Just imagine how I feel when we go anywhere! He is always scoping out the cabinets and countertops. Ha!!!

  2. Fifty Nifty! My all time favorite song to teach, EVER. The first time I heard this song was when my oldest was in 2nd grade (she is 20 now) and they had a huge Patriotic Production. Her class sang this song, I actually have it on video! There was choreography, sparklers, and red, white, and blue. I wasn't a teacher yet, but as soon as I got my own classroom the singing began. We watch the video and sing it everyday for a few months, they just love it!

  3. Wow…Fifty Nifty…Okay is it horrible if I say I remember singing that song in 4th and 5th grade?! I still to this day sing that song in my head when I'm trying to remember the order of the states. Sigh…It never leaves you! 🙂
