50 state capitals in 50 fun minutes




I can remember working with my children to learn their states and capitals. I know that the best way to learn was to teach them fun facts, songs and whatever would stick in their mind. If you all can remember the show Shark Tank (which I hear is coming back soon for a second season) there was a man named Ken Bradfurd. This man to me had an ingenious ideas of teaching kids the states and capitals through fun flash cards. Ken recently sent us a set to review in order to share my thoughts with all my readers in this post.



Let me tell you the cool cards have such wonderful pictures that parents, students and teachers should all have a blast with them. The 50 state in 50 fun minutes is composed of the 50 state capital cards, suggestions on how to get the lessons started easily and quickly, a teacher or self study guide, a map of the U.S. so that students can also learn where the states are located, crossword puzzles to keep the learning fun and hands on and great review and exams to help study the cards. The complete system to me would be great for either home school or public school.

The 50 state Capitals in 50 Fun Minutes allows for easy fun learning in a way that is much better than the old fashioned repetitive, memorizing manner. The flashcards will allow your child or student to grasp the state and capital knowledge much easier and normally quicker as well. Children learn well through communication and the fun flash cards allow the states and capitals to be learned through rhymes, humor and association. Children learn at their own level and pace and the flash cards will be an useful tool to all.

While this is only my opinion and yes it is my opinion I was not paid for this review or my opinion. The only way that you can fully form your own opinion is to check out the 50 state capitals in 50 fun minutes learning system for your self.
