States and Capitals

Winter break is coming to a close and that means it is time to work on lesson plans and other items for school.  When we return to school on Monday, the students will get their study guides for the Southeast region's states and capitals.  To help students with learning states and capitals, I made a quick matching game for them to play during free time or at home.

Hope you can use it too!  Southeast Matching Game
