US Geography (State and Capitals)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

While this video may be a little outdated, it does a great job covering each US region, states, and capitals. The young narrators provide the name of each state and capital and provide an informational state fact that can be used to remember the state names. New Jersey's nickname is the Garden State and Maryland is home of the Maryland Blue Crab. This clip covers the first two regions in the US.
