This link should lead to a similar task but in this one, you have to put the state name on the USA map. http://www.mousebreaker.com/games/geogeniususa/play.php

Hey that's good Dizart! I once taught myself all the states by remembering how many A's B's etc. But I struggle with some of the capitals, and with most of the nicknames too. I know some of the state trees, flowers etc (mainly because of funtrivia quizzes) but I think its quite funny that some states have state beverages, and even state cooking pots!

Got them all with 6 minutes left (exactly.) Had 47 of them down with 8 minutes left, but it took me a while to remember Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin.

I haven't done it yet, but I don't remember a song. Could someone tell me where to find it?
Thanks!

I had six and a half minutes to spare, but I also have practiced: When I was still in school, I would name all the states and their capitals when I was bored. (Also, Canadian provinces/territories, European countries, and South American countries - I got bored a lot!) Even so, it took me close to thirty seconds to remember Nevada. Oops!

YES!!! That was fun. I managed to do it with 1:42 left on the clock. I can't believe I nearly forgot Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, especially since my Dad hails from the Buckeye state!  I find it helps to visualize a map of the US and name all the states in groups, so you don't forget any. But I do hate those midwestern and -eastern states... Did it a second time with 4:25 remaining. Not much of an improvement, but a bit better. This time I almost forgot Indiana. I hate those mideastern states even more than I did before!

And I scored 7991 points on KrivoyRog's game. It's much easier than naming all the states! And I just did it again and scored 8150 points!

I am Canadian and managed to get 49 of the 50. I was disappointed when I found out the one I forgot was New Jersey!
