States and Capitals Flash Cards

All 50 states on the fronts and their capitals on the backs. Most kids learn these in fourth or fifth grade, and they are easier to learn a region at a time than in alphabetical order.

How it works

Three steps to a printed page

  1. Type one card per line. Put a dash between front and back, or leave the back off.

  2. Pick a card size: 4, 8 or 12 to a page.

  3. Print double-sided, flipping on the long edge, then cut along the dashed lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easiest way to learn the state capitals?

One region at a time, about ten states a week. Sort the cards into regions first and practise those together.

How do I make flash cards with a front and back?

Type each card on its own line with a dash between the two sides, like "photosynthesis - how plants make food from light". Fronts print on one page and backs on the next, lined up for double-sided printing.

Can I make one-sided flash cards?

Yes. Leave out the dash and the back. If no card has a back, only front pages print.

How big are the flash cards?

On US Letter paper, large cards are about 4 by 5 inches, medium cards about 4 by 2.6 inches (close to an index card), and small ones about 2.6 by 2.6 inches.

How many flash cards can I make at once?

Up to 150, which is 13 pages of medium cards.
