Unless your hobby is memorizing things or you have a high brain capacity, you'll find that it's a lot easier to memorize a song than a long list of presidents (in order) or states and 'Marbles: The Brain Store' has created multiple songs to help children (and adults) learn these lists.
In its new album, Brain Beat uses mnemonics in a quirky song titled 'Tour the States' to help children remember more easily the states' names and respective capitals along with what the place is known for. The catchy tune paired with the cute hand-drawn pictures will surely keep kids entertained until the song takes its effect. Other beats on the album include A Little Chemistry, Merci for the Chimpanzee, and A Slice of Pi.
