How well do you know your states?

Well here's a fun time-waster ! See how many of our 50 states you can remember ....

Took me 1 minute and 36 seconds ...

Who knew learning "The State Song" in 5th grade would come in so handy one day?!

:M Fifty nifty United States from 13 original colonies .... :M

I know them all, but I wasted more time than Kelly on this. She must type faster. :p

And, I don't know that song, but it's not necessary for you to sing it 'round the next campfire.

I'll admit to only getting 49.

I didn't learn the song (but DD#2 knew it perfectly in 3rd or 4th grade); I pictured a map in my head and went thorugh putting names to the states. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I had put the same name (Montana) to both Montana and Nebraska. When I got to 49, I had enough time to go through again (and make the same mistake again :mad: ).

LOL ~ E and M both know the song. Want them to sing it?

I did it, but it took me 5 minutes to type them in with two fingers.

Kelly,

Too funny my daughter's 2nd grade classes just put on a patriotic program last Friday and they sang the Nifty Fifty song. It has been stuck in my head for the past week, LOL.

I got it, but it took me 7 min. to type it in with 3 fingers. It took me a while to get the right spelling for a few states!

I still remember all of them in Alphabetical order! I cant get it out of my head either..... I often wonder when I will be out somewhere playing trivia and just happen to have a question asking to name all 50 states in that order!! LOL This may be all I remember from School!! Sad,sad,sad!

It was the spelling that I had problems with.
