US state capitals worksheet
Each state is numbered on the map, and each capital is marked with a star at its real location. Kids read the state name beside its number and write in the capital.
Keep the word bank of capitals for younger learners, or switch it off for a test. Print one region at a time for a shorter list. The answer key lists every capital.
Questions
Is the state capitals worksheet free?
Yes. It is free to print, with no sign-up.
Where do the capital locations come from?
From Natural Earth, a public domain map data set. Every capital name was checked against a published list of state capitals.
Can I make it easier?
Yes. Keep the word bank on, or pick one region so there are only 9 to 16 capitals to find.
