Africa: Countries and Capitals Map Activity (Print and Digital)

Description

This no-prep print and digital map has students label the countries of Africa and record their capitals. Students will label a map of Africa which includes the 54 African countries of Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Côte D’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gabon, (The) Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

They will also label the Atlantic Ocean, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Lake Chad, Lake Nyasa, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Victoria

Lastly, to further help students remember the capitals of the countries located in Africa, students will write the capitals down on handouts. These handouts can be used again as a quiz. This download also includes digital versions so it is easy to use with hybrid classes and remote students.

Africa has a lot of countries and if you think it would be helpful for your students to learn the countries and capitals in smaller chunks instead of this one page map that covers all of the countries of Africa on one map, you might like these regional Africa maps instead: East Africa, Central & Southern Africa, Northern and West Africa or the bundle of all of the Africa maps.
