Printable Spanish-Speaking Countries and Capitals Game Cards
Inside: Spanish-speaking countries and capitals map and game cards.
It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, a perfect time to introduce geography for Spanish-speaking countries. I’ve made a map and set of cards that teach countries, capitals, maps, and country shapes, as well as a few quick facts about each country. In this free download, you can also find directions for games like Go Fish, Concentration, and Slap-it. A color set is in included, as well as black and white in case you want your kids/students to color in the flags themselves.
Spanish-speaking Countries and Capitals Map and Game Cards
Though I like to use games to introduce lists like this, remember that memorizing a list won’t necessarily produce students who love culture. If my students are really going to connect to far away places, they needs stories, videos, food, and songs (and of course travel, if possible) to produce real affection. Hopefully these fun games will help you painlessly and quickly introduce geography, so that when you do listen to a Colombian artist or watch a clip from Puerto Rico, everyone knows the context.
These links are helpful for remembering and connecting to Spanish-speaking countries:

For older students (the original video is cool, but on the line for school-appropriate):
