Study a map and learn a place

Look at a map and learn the position of a few countries, rivers or cities.

Why it helps

Knowing where things are gives context to the news and to travel. A map shows relationships a list cannot.

How to do it

1. Open a map of a region you know little about.
2. Pick five places and find them.
3. Cover the labels and try to recall where each is.

Make it easier

Find three places.

Make it harder

Learn ten places and their capitals or neighbours.
