USA STATES & CAPITALS QUIZ

GEOGRAPHY USA STATES & CAPITALS ALL THE US STATES AND THEIR CAPITALS two quizzes with 100 multiple-choice questions
There are two multiple choice quizzes, each with 50 questions, so 100 questions in total. The structure of the question in Quiz 1 is: The capital of Alabama is… and there are three possible options given - the correct answer is in capital letters. The structure of the question in Quiz 2 is: Montgomery is the capital of… again with three possible answer options, with the correct answer in capital letters.

I laminate the cards, because they do last for years, and are far easier to handle. I put the question cards in a box or tin, and select cards randomly - sometimes I have a single quiz in the box, and sometimes I have both quizzes. We do play them quite often, as students really enjoy the competitive element, and it does help recall. The quizzes also work well when students ask the questions. Teams continue to get questions as long as they give the correct answer — you can have as many teams as suits your class - we also play in pairs too, especially if we’re playing a number of different quizzes at the same time. I’ve added 8 general knowledge questions too, so that there are six full questions on the final sheet, and in that way, there’s no wasted paper or laminate sheet. The question cards do look good with the color background, and there’s a different background for each quiz, but to keep costs down, I’ve also included a set with no background.

My students also find reference resources really useful - download this list of all the states and capitals of the USA for free here:
