Here are some of our ideas:<\/p>\n<p>First of all, if students are just learning the capitals, you might start with fewer than 50 cards. You can start with 10 or 15 to make it a little easier for them to begin working on mastery.<\/p>\n<p>If working with a smaller group of cards, students can play a memory matching game.<\/p>\n<p>You can also pass out capitals to half of the class and states to the other half. Students have to find their match.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Place magnets on the back and have students place matches together on your board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please let us know any other ideas you have for helping children learn to identify the states and capitals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">You can download this state abbreviations matching set here:<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/pdf\/socialstudies\/state%20abbreviation%20sort.pdf\">State Cards<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Looking for additional free resources for your classroom?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Take a look at some of our other favorites:<\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/states-capitals-matching-cards\/\">States &amp; Capitals Cards<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/historical-fiction-resources\/\">Genre Focus: Historical Fiction<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/informational-text-graphic-organizers\/\">Key Ideas &amp; Informational Text Graphic Organizers<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These matching cards will help students practice identifying state abbreviations.
