Substitute Lesson A to Z Geography World Cities & Countries

Here's a fun, challenging way to teach global awareness and one of the five themes of geography: place. The "A-to-Z Countries" and "A-to-Z World Cities" assignments require students to find a country or world city for each letter of the alphabet.

These are great, flexible assignments that you can leave with a substitute teacher or to be used on a regular learning day. I have used them both ways.

You simply need a world political map (with well-labeled countries) or Internet access for quick reference to sites like Google.com or KidRex.org.

I have included the student assignment sheets and two lists of possible answers. Your students will really enjoy this assignment. Mine certainly have over the years!
