Maps
Blank map of Asia
Outline map of all 48 countries of Asia, no labels. For labeling, coloring and review. 1 page.
Every sheet in this pack counts 48 countries in Asia, read from the same list as the rest of playgeography.app: the 193 UN member states and two observer states, each filed under one continent by the UN geoscheme. Russia is counted in Europe, so it is grey on the Asia map. Türkiye, Cyprus and the three Caucasus states are counted in Asia, following the UN geoscheme. Taiwan is drawn but not counted, because it is not a UN member or observer state. How many countries are in Asia? goes through the count in full.
A simple plan for a unit
Start with the warm-up, without notes, to see what the class already knows.
Work through the labeled map together, then hand out the blank map to fill in.
Use the countries and capitals sheet as the reference for the week.
Finish with the capitals and flag worksheets, and mark them with the answer keys.
Common questions
How many countries are in Asia?
48, on these sheets. That is the count you get by filing each of the 193 UN member states and two observer states under one continent, following the UN geoscheme. Other conventions give different totals, and the page How many countries are in Asia? on this site explains why.
Why is Taiwan not one of the 48?
These sheets count the 193 UN member states and the two UN observer states, and Taiwan is neither. It is drawn on the map in grey and named, but not counted. Is Taiwan a country? on this site explains the difference between how Taiwan governs itself and how it is recognized.
Are these printables really free?
Yes. Every sheet is a free PDF with no sign up and no email address. You may print and copy them for your own classroom, homeschool or family. Each one comes in US Letter and A4, and the worksheets carry their answer key on the last page.
How do I print them so nothing is cut off?
Download the PDF that matches your paper, US Letter or A4, and print at actual size or 100 percent. Every sheet keeps half an inch of margin on all sides, so ordinary home and school printers reach every line. The maps print well in black and white; anything with flags needs color.
