African Country Quiz

Teachers,
Are you ready to roll? A few of us have been looking over resources and will have some ideas ready for you to use. Some of you may like to share information about Africa only once a month, while others of you may decide to do more of a two-week unit approach. We will hope that students will end the year with more awareness and understanding of the African continent. So, how well do you know the continent? Let's start with countries. The following links will help you place the countries of the African continent. Give them a try. Are you 100%? Or closer to only 50%?
