State us state field

[Music] okay this looks just like a newscaster show hi my name is nelson dallas and in this video we are going to talk about how to memorize all the states of the united all 50 states in the usa their names and where they are on the map a super easy mnemonic that was inspired by a video by someone called miss alexander a teacher i presume the original video is linked in the description so check it out and give her channel some love as well but i figured i could make it a little more visually appealing and maybe make some of the mnemonics a little more friendly hello all right let's get started so we're going to start with the word can't c a n t now notice that all four of these states are at the southern border so just remember that you can't cross the border into mexico unless you got a passport you can't c is for california a arizona and new mexico and t texas can't now right above that you're gonna put the word nuk like duck but with an n so the n goes for nevada u for utah c for colorado and k for kansas right across there now what you can remember is first of all nevada is the n has that little v there in the corner to help you remember that it's nevada and then to remember the rest just think of a duck kind of walking across these four states here and to remember that it's knuck not duck maybe think of knocking right so think of this duck he wants to get down through the border but he can't but he's knocking on those states to see if he can actually cross into them and then potentially into mexico that duck knocking now let's take a little detour if you go above the letter k all of these that go down vertically into that k have a k in them so at the top here we have north dakota then south dakota then we have nebraska then underneath kansas we have oak lahoma now i always like to look at oklahoma and it looks kind of like a meat cleaver and that handle there you just remember is made of oak if we go west from north dakota the top there we have montana now if you look at the little edge of montana it kind of looks like a little m there and it's kind of like mountainy in a way you can imagine them to be mountains the mountain reminds you of montana going further west you have idaho which looks like a lowercase i then if we keep going to the west we're going to eventually hit the water and you want to say whoa i don't want to hit the water got to be careful otherwise i'm going to go in the ocean so whoa w-o that's washington and oregon now we miss one why why did we miss old wyoming y will remind you of wyoming now we're going to go down the midwest here and i want you to remember the word mimo kind of strange but imagine there is a chef and his name is mr mimo and you'll see here that you actually have the shape of a chef he's got a chef hat there's his face you've got his body his pants and then the boots now the chef he just happens to love mice you can actually kind of see a little mouse face here on the little point of minnesota at the top so minnie mouse minnesota now iowa is where his face is it should make sense because that's where his eye would go iowa now the m in the middle here is missouri and that's where his heart is right and if he's ever attacked you want to make sure that you miss that part of his body because otherwise he'd be in trouble so that's the part you want to miss miss suri now if we go down a little further we have arkansas you can remember that because it's kind of near kansas it's r kansas and then finally his boot is louisiana you can remember that l-state name because of the shape of the boot is an l now if we go out from his missouri chest area you'll notice that there's kind of this straight little square there that's tennessee and above that is this kind of little jumble of stuff and that's kentucky now he's a chef after all so you can imagine him holding 10 plates out in front of him and on top of them are some kentucky fried chicken legs right so we have mr mimel the chef holding out 10 plates 10 the sea and above it on top of the plates are kentucky fried chicken legs kentucky so that's k and t now in that area just above kentucky we have a few states there and they're all near the great lakes so you can imagine that area is kind of wet right so i want you to remember the word y mop and what that will be is wisconsin illinois indiana michigan ohio and pennsylvania now one thing to help you remember which eye is which it's going to be illinois as the first eye and then indiana as the second one the way you can remember that is illinois if you look at it it kind of looks like someone's coughing so illinois the person is ill and it has a little bump kind of the back of the guy's head which is poking in to indiana all right next up we go to the top right corner we're going to start up at main think of it as the main point of the map right it's the top right pretty prominent it's the main part of the map m now going down here we have a backwards h that's new hampshire then we have a state next to that that looks kind of like a v that's vermont and right below that we have this massive hook shaped thing because it's catching a bunch of fish off the coast and that is massachusetts then right below that we have some very small state and islands are pretty small right so this is rhode island now if you go to the left a bit you'll see that that state is new york it kind of has a y there so that will help you remember that it's new york and in between rhode island and new york you have this other state there which connects them together which is connecticut going down a bit we have a state that has kind of the shape of a j that's new jersey now delaware just below that i like to think it actually looks kind of like a d next to delaware you have this almost m shaped state there with a little outcrop there now the m should remind you of maryland and people there are very merry down below that we have an upside down v for virginia to the west of that obviously we have west virginia now below that i like to think that those two states there below virginia kind of make a c together and those are the carolinas north carolina and south carolina now these three states right below that area are m-a-g now to me they all look like faces of simpson characters and i like to think of maggie simpson she's one of the simpsons the little baby so that helps me remember m-a-g that's mississippi alabama and georgia and then finally below that we have a backwards f for florida then of course we have our two states that are not in the continental u.s we have alaska and hawaii now the alaska is easy because it kind of looks like an a a lowercase a and then finally for hawaii it's so far out there in the pacific that when you go there you say hi hawaii hawaii yeah there you have it all 50 states quick mnemonic if you follow that little crazy little story you'll have them in no time you could fill in this map lickety-split it could be split yeah all right that's it all 50 states in your noggin now if you like that stuff and you like this kind of content that helps you remember more and helps you do better
