One of the most useful things I've carried throughout my life from elementary school is my memory of the song Fifty Nifty United States. I really can't say all the times it's been useful to have all 50 states memorized alphabetically. Most recently, however, I was able to put this fount of knowledge to use on our trip to Yellowstone when, having banned electronics, my kids needed something to do. I quickly wrote out all the names of the states for them individually and got them playing the license plate game. They were amazed that I could crank out all the states, and we were all amazed when we found a license plate for EVERY state at Yellowstone National Park!
Here are two useful videos for learning the song.
