I suggest the following:

Take 50 index cards and write the state on one side and its capital on the other. The game you are trying to play is to guess what's on the other side of the card.

Now split them into five groups each. Practice on each till you have the hang of it.

Put all the 50 cards together and shuffle them. And split them into groups of 10 each and practice again.

In this game, you would guess the state from the capital and the capital from the state. So, which side faces you first is irrelevant (however you need to which side is which).
