Countries of the world
You learn the countries of the world by finding the continent first.
How to find it again
- Think: which continent is the country in? Find that continent on the map.
- Look in the right part: north or south, east or west.
- Tap the country.

Watch out
You type the name of the continent when the country is asked.
Read the question again. It asks for the country that is lit up, not for the continent around it.
Tips
- Russia lies in Europe and Asia. This map draws it with Asia.
- The United States is also called the USA or America.
Why it works
Thirty-four countries on one map is a lot to search. If you know the continent, you only look in one part of the map. Then the country is a small step: north or south, east or west.
