Sub-Saharan Africa Map Quiz – Type the Countries | Smurdy
Practice the names and locations of Sub-Saharan Africa by typing the highlighted countries.
What this Sub-Saharan Africa quiz covers
Sub-Saharan Africa contains the countries south of the Sahara according to Smurdy's stored group list. Removing North Africa still leaves a large map spanning West, Central, East, and Southern Africa.
How the typing map quiz works
One country is highlighted on the map. Type its name to answer, using the map shape and location as your clue. The round continues through all 49 countries, making this useful for spelling practice as well as map recognition.
Gameplay tip: Say each answer in your head before typing it. That small pause helps connect the written name to the map.
What makes this group challenging
The group is still large and includes many landlocked countries, so memorizing regional clusters is more effective than treating it as one uninterrupted list.
Study tip
Practice West, East, Central, and Southern Africa separately before using this combined quiz.
