Central Asia Map Activity

Description

Students will label a map of Central Asia which includes the Asian countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. They will also label the neighboring countries of Iran, Iraq, Russian Federation, Turkey and the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf, and Red Sea. Lastly, to further help students remember the capitals of the countries located in Central Asia, students will write the capitals down on a handout. This handout 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.

Note: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia can correctly be included both in Asia and in Europe (most have them physically in Asia, but politically in Europe). This resource includes them in the Central Asia map.
