2. Put cards in an envelope, pull out one, read the name of the country and try to remember and call the city which is the capital of this state. Try not to spy. For convenience use color cardboard. For example, yellow color - for the states located in Europe, green – for the Asian countries gray – for African. Withdraw cards which you already well remembered from circulation. This way is good to remember the capitals in names of the states and vice versa – the countries on the capitals.
3. Use phonetic associations. Take couple "the State – the Capital", for example, Tirana - the capital of Albania. Think what each word is associated with. Concerning the capital "tyrant", and concerning the country – Jessica Alba or footwear of the Alba brand occurs at once.
