I want to take a little trip somewhere – Appetizer State Capitals
Warm Up
The Thang
7 Pax / 2.0
Tour of the States:
The goal was to name all 50 state capitals, if you got the correct capital, you did a count of 10 of the exercise, if the group got the capital wrong, it was a count of 15. Can the group make it through all 50 states, well we did it!
From the song: Tour The Sates by Renald Francoeur.
