States and Capitals by Region: Name the State, Then Its Capital

One region at a time: a state lights up, you name it, and then you name its capital.

4 pages

Midwest States and Capitals QuizThe 12 Census Midwest states on a large map. Name the lit state, then its capital, from Columbus to Bismarck. Prints blank with an answer key.
Northeast States and Capitals QuizThe 9 Census Northeast states, drawn big enough to tap Rhode Island. Name the lit state, then its capital. New England plays alone as a 6-state round.
Southeast States and Capitals QuizThe 16 states of the Census South on one map, or a shorter Southeast of 12 or 14. Name the lit state, then its capital, from Dover to Austin. Prints blank.
Western States and Capitals QuizThe 13 Census West states, with Alaska and Hawaii in inset boxes. Name the lit state, then its capital, from Olympia to Santa Fe. Prints blank with a key.

Fifty states and fifty capitals is a long list, so these four quizzes split it by region. Each page draws one region of the United States large, lights up a state and asks two things: which state is this, and what is its capital.

A question counts only when both are right, and missed states come back at the end.

The Midwest, Northeast and West pages follow the regions of the U.S. Census Bureau, with 12, 9 and 13 states. New England is a button on the Northeast page that plays its 6 states on a closer map. The Southeast page opens on the 16 states of the Census South and has buttons for the shorter school lists of 12 and 14. Every page prints as a blank numbered sheet with a key, and every capital was checked on September 19, 2026.
