Geography Worksheets

If you love geography, then you’re going to love these simple and free geography worksheets.

What I love about geography is how it gives you a unique overarching perspective of the world.

For example, you can study anything from traveling, cultures, and Earth science. Indeed, you can piece together the world.

And with this collection of geography worksheets, you can piece together an incredible geography lesson plan.

1. Flag Quiz

Every country has a flag to proudly represent. From simple flags like Japan and the United States. All the way to more challenging flags like Cambodia and Swaziland.

Can you identify the flags of the world in the flags quiz?

2. Know Your Oceans

Now, there are 5 oceans in the world. But we only used to recognize just 4 oceans. Actually, throughout history, the number of oceans has changed significantly.

Can you list our current ocean names in the ocean worksheet below?

3. Country Outlines

I love geography. Who doesn’t? Match the country with its outline, then draw a country. How close are you to the real thing?

One of my brightest students always loved drawing country outlines for fun so I dedicate this one to him.

4. Blank Maps

Add color for each country in this blank South America map. In the legend, match the color with the color you add in the empty map.

Here’s an additional 7 printable blank maps for geography worksheets.

5. Ecosystems Worksheet

Deserts, rainforests, and tundras are types of ecosystems. In this geography activity, you match the word with each type of landscape.

From deserts to tundras, students learn the types of landscapes we have. Can you think of any more types of ecosystems that aren’t in the worksheet?

6. Metropolis Markdown

Do you know where the largest cities are in the Americas? Write the number for each city on the map.

Similar to pin the tail on the donkey (without the blindfold), how close are you to the actual location of the city?

7. Weather Types for Kids

How was the weather in your city the last 3 days? What is the weather typically in your city?

Finally, what is the weather typically for each month and season? How about weather patterns for different continents and ecosystems?

8. World Monuments Quiz

In this famous landmarks quiz, students have to connect the dot for each historical world monument and the country outline.

After this activity, can you recognize the monument and country outline?

9. Capitals Crossword Puzzle

Instead of a capital quiz, this capital cities crossword puzzle helps you learn geography in an interesting way.

Solve the capital cities crossword puzzle by entering horizontal and vertical entries as the country’s capital.

10. Continents Spelling

Can you spell all the continents of the world? Because in this continents worksheet, you untangle each continent with the help of the number on the map.

Reorder the letters to spell the continents and check if you can spell each continent correctly.

Printable Maps for Geography Class

Geography has always been one of my favorite subjects to teach.

From states to countries to continents, these printable blank maps will sharpen your student’s attention to detail. While coloring continental boundaries are easy, US states are quite challenging (for geography teachers as well).

How do you use these printable maps?

• First, beginner and early age classes can use these blank, printable maps as coloring sheets. For each country, state and continent, this can help them get familiar with the world.
• Secondly, students can color each state, country, and continent and match the color in the legend. Surprisingly, this little twist can add a big challenge. And the best part is that it’s challenging enough to learn each boundary.

First, we have a printable map for the globe and they have to color in continents. Next, you can download these blank maps for continents like Europe, South America, and Asia where they have to color in each country. Finally, there is a blank US map where students can identify each state.

No matter which part of the world you are from, these blank maps are free to download and open to using for any purpose.

Following Directions Worksheets

When you’re traveling, you might have to ask for directions. In these following directions worksheets, you get some practice doing this. From start to finish, can you listen and give directions?

1. Lost in Wichita, Kansas

Let’s turn Wichita into your navigation playground. Pair up and one student plays lost tourist. The other is a helpful local.

Your mission? Guide your partner to cool spots around town. Switch roles and see who’s the better navigator.

It’s all about directions. Lefts and rights. Ups and downs. Try not ending up in the wrong state on your next road trip.

2. Blind Directions

I best describe this as a blindfolded adventure through a paper maze. Here’s how it works:

Grab a partner and decide who’s the guide and who’s the explorer. Explorer, close your eyes and grip that pencil – you’re going in blind.

Guide, it’s your job to steer your partner to freedom with crystal-clear directions.

It’s hilarious, it’s challenging, and it might just reveal who among you has a secret talent for navigation.

3. Blindfolded Obstacle Course

Let’s turn your classroom into an obstacle course. One brave soul gets blindfolded and becomes our adventurer. The rest of you? You’re the guide.

Set up a simple obstacle course. But nothing too wild because we don’t want any accidental somersaults.

Remember, teamwork is key here. Too many shouting voices and our blindfolded volunteer can get hurt. Safety first, folks.

Following Directions Worksheets

In these 3 following directions worksheets, you have a chance to practice turning left and right as well as moving forward and backward.

For traveling, this is an incredibly useful skill to get familiar with.
