Here we go! It’s a new semester, so we are heading into memorizing Asia with our middle schooler. A few disclaimers – provisos – quid pro quo about these cards:
- For the Asian island locator maps, you may need to imagine which islands are highlighted. (It’s far-too-likely I will not get around to sprucing them up with better island locator maps.) To accommodate for this challenge, we may be placing the cards on a ring in the order that we plan to draw them. (What order is that? I’m not sure just yet. But the photo below shows how we placed the Americas flashcards in order. Isn’t that helpful?)
- Unlike the European Flashcards, these cards don’t include an option without the names on the country side. To drill which country is which, we are simply covering up the country name that’s on the bottom of the flashcard.
- This set includes the Middle East.
- The only countries/capitals listed are the ones that were required in the homeschool middle school curriculum we were using at the time.
Alrighty! You can download the Asia & Middle East Countries & Capitals Flashcards by clicking on the link below:
