States & Capitals Bell Work: 10 Weeks, All 50 States

Teach all 50 states and capitals 10 states at a time! This 10-week bell work set breaks the U.S. into 5 regions. Students spend one week on a region's 10 states, then a second week on the same states plus their capitals.

The twist: it's the same 10 states all week, but the numbers on the map shuffle every day. Students can't just memorize the order of a list. They have to learn where each state actually is!

What's included (41 pages):

• Teacher overview page with the week-by-week plan
• 10 weeks of bell work, one double-sided sheet per week
• Front: Monday–Wednesday with a word bank
• Back: Thursday–Friday from memory, no word bank
• Capitals weeks mark every capital with a star
• Answer keys for every day (the numbers change daily, so every day has its own key)

Regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest & South Central, and the West (with Alaska and Hawaii).

Perfect for: bell work, warm-ups, U.S. history and geography classes, review, and History Buff Challenge prep.
