Tour the States - States and Capitals Song
This video is suitable for those just learning the US states and capitals. Good luck!
If you’re a kid who is interested in government or wants to be a lawyer one day, this site is for you! It has super fun games that help you learn all about how the government works and what rights we are supposed to have. My personal favorite game has always been “Do I have a right?”, where you get to run a virtual mini law firm. 10/10 highly recommend!
Crash Course is a great resource to learn about historical topics! The videos are easy for all ages to understand.

If you’re a kid who likes games, this resource is for you! Parable of the Polygons shows how bias can lead to segregated neighborhoods. Have fun trying to find the balance of rearranging the shapes to make them happy but also keeping the diversity factor (hint: it’s very tricky).
