Matching Activity

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a matching activity that tests students’ knowledge of U.S. state capitals. It lists twenty states in one column and their respective capitals in another, but the capitals are not in the correct order. Students are directed to match each state to its capital by writing the correct letter from the capital list next to the state’s number. The worksheet is decorated with a colorful map of the United States, which adds a visual aid to the learning activity.

The objective of the worksheet is to reinforce students’ memorization of the capital cities of the United States. It encourages them to recall and correctly associate each state with its capital, which is a foundational aspect of U.S. geography education. By engaging with this exercise, students practice their recognition and matching skills. This type of activity is important for building geographical literacy and helps students retain critical information about their country’s political divisions.
