Continent Map: Africa

Overview:

This activity provides a map of Africa with country borders but no labels. It is designed to help students identify the countries and learn about the geography of Africa.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and label the countries of Africa.
• Develop map-reading and geographical skills.
• Enhance knowledge of Africa's countries and their locations.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given an unlabelled map of Africa, showing only the borders of the countries. Their task is to label each country correctly. Additional activities could include:

• Researching and adding key facts about each country (e.g., capital cities, languages spoken, major landmarks).
• Colouring each country in a different shade to visually distinguish them.
• Learning about notable geographical features of Africa, such as the Sahara Desert, the Nile River, or Mount Kilimanjaro.

This activity helps students practise their map-reading skills while gaining a deeper understanding of Africa's diverse countries and regions.
