Asia map worksheet

We have included 50 countries in the Asia map, the United Nations only includes 48. The two extra countries we have included are:

1. Taiwan. Taiwan is a self-governing democratic state that is not recognized as a sovereign state by the United Nations or some countries due to diplomatic reasons. It is instead recognized as a part of China by the United Nations.
2. Palestine. Palestine is recognized by the United Nations as a non-member observer state, but it is not a full-member state. The status of Palestine is a contentious issue and is the subject of ongoing political debate and negotiations.

There are 2 different maps of the continent of Asia. One with the countries on the side to make it a little easier, and one with no country names.

The students can either color in the different countries or add the names to the correct country.

I highly recommend you play the mapology world map game to add to this unit study. This is also included in our favorite geography board games.

There are 2 parts to this worksheet.

There are 10 ways to say hello in 10 different languages, and the children need to label the correct greeting with the correct language.

The second part of this is labeling the language with the country. For some like Japanese is easy, but not all of them!

Asia Word Search

The Asian countries and cities can be found, horizontally, vertically, diagonally, frontwards, or backward! Just to make it that much more difficult.

I have also added the word search answers, as some of the words are a little tricky to find!

Tip: I recommend either using a highlighter pen or circling around the letters. Do not cross the letters out if you have found a word, as it may be used in another word!

The 18 Asian countries and cities to find are:

• Tokyo
• China
• India
• Pakistan
• Shanghai
• Karachi
• Mumbai
• Bangladesh
• Myanmar
• Everest
• Turkey
• Indonesia
• Vietnam
• Japan
• Philippines
• Iran
• Saudi Arabia
• Mongolia
