Countries and capitals of Africa      Our world has become an increasingly complicated place. We don't know what country will be on the news tonight and how events there will concern us. It is important to know the world and to know about the world before the world comes to us. Consider how much geography the average 16 year old knows and remember they may vote in the next presidential election.
     The heart of geography, and even the source of its name, is the map - a picture of the world which organizes our understanding of places. Manipulating a map, assembling it, is the best way to learn where the different countries are and what other countries they are near to or far way from. This forms a lasting image and understanding. It is hard to know much of a foreign place without knowing where it is. The map is a framework that brings other knowledge together and makes the world understandable.
     Geography is spatial – so why not learn it spatially? Download and play the Africa Map Puzzle game. Put in the countries with their borders shown on the background to learn quickly. Try it without the national borders to test your knowledge. Learn the capitals before you hear about them on the evening news. Play for your fastest time or just for fun.

Better than a wooden map puzzle: more learning and more fun. With this game you can’t lose Madagascar under the couch.
