Europe Puzzle Map - Free Software
Grade Level: Middle School and up
Submitted by: Margaret Taylor

Students learn the location of countries in Europe, and their capitals.

Materials/Preparation:

Download and install "Europe Puzzle Map" on the PC. The URL is http://www.yourchildlearns.com/puzzle_eur.htm

Activity:

The student chooses 'countries' or 'capitals'. Both games come with or without hints, and can be played with or without being timed. A country appears on the right hand side of the screen, and the student drags it and drops it to the correct location on a map of Europe. The name of the counry appears with the country. To play the game with capitals, the name of the capital and a star symbol appear on the right of the computer screen, and the student drags it to the right country.

Additional Comments:

Geography is spatial, so why not learn it spatially?

With the breakup of the USSR, the map puzzle of Europe is challenging for adults, too!
