  1. The quizzes are so much fun. Even though I love to travel I,am terrible at geography. I have especially learned I know nothing about Africa. Great tool for teaching.

  2. I only got 3 right answers. Lol. And they’re all based on guesses. It’s fun to end the night answering this quiz though.

  3. Oh, wow, I really need to brush up on Africa’s geography. While I do know the countries and I recap them often (I have Pinterest boards with continents and sub-boards with their countries), I found it difficult to pin them on the map.

  4. I LOVE this! Firstly, somewhat proud of my results, 6/10 isn’t horrible BUT it also highlighted I have MUCH more to learn! That’s why this was so useful! I’ll have to study my atlas more often and the key takeaway is that I need to travel to Africa more!

  5. Oops I am so weak at African Geography. I was knowing only few countries but it is such a huge and beautiful continent that I have to explore now more.

  6. I am too embarrassed to even share my score – Need to work on my General Knowledge AND Geography 😛 I should plan a trip to Africa soon to know it better 😉

  7. This is wonderful quiz. It made me realize that I know nothing about this giant continent. ????I need to update my geographical knowledge. Should explore more about Africa.

  8. What a great idea. I need to spend more time planning trips to Africa though because it made me realise I don’t know it very well.
