Cold War Map Activity (Print and Digital)

Description

Teaching the Cold War? Incorporate maps to help your students understand how the Cold War impacted the map of Europe. These two no-prep print and digital map sets make it easy for your students to practice their mapping and geography skills as they create maps they can use throughout your Cold War units.

 

This download includes TWO map sets! This first map focuses on Europe after World War II at the start of the Cold War. Students will identify nations that belonged to NATO, the Warsaw Pact, and which ones remained neutral. The second map examines Europe in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Unit.

 

To complete each map, students will follow a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation step by step to label and color the maps. Have a paperless classroom? Digital versions are included! Students can also label the maps by dragging and dropping labels on a digital PowerPoint or Google Slides map.

 

Lastly, students can practice what they’ve learned by using self-checking online maps!
