Can you point out all the continents, countries, or states?

This past week we were asked to fill out as much as we can on a blank world map. Now most of you would think "oh I got this", but once you look at that map one realizes that this map is filled of small spaces you do not remember being there or learning. I must admit I did not do so well on this assignment. It has been so long since I have had Geography or talked about all the different countries in Africa or all the Islands of the coast of Florida. I believe this is very important to teach our students, but we need to teach it in a way that is engaging and entertaining. We watched a you-tube video of a little girl that knows all the places around the world with ease. This activity points out to me that I need to review the map before I teach this to my future classroom.
