  1. Very interesting site. After going through your lists, I have to admit I don’t know all the names of all the countries in Europe including the capitals. It is great fun to learn these names with the activities you have set out. Good fun way for kids to learn all these country names and its capitals as well. Great work, Julia!

    1. Thank you!  I have enjoyed compiling these lists and finding out more about these countries as I was doing so.

  2. Hi Julia,

    what a fun quiz you’ve put together here! I really like it, especially the “fill-in-the-gaps” style quiz with the missing vowels. That’s a great idea. I am from Europe myself, and I learned alot by going through the list. Back in school we had to learn a lot of these, but obviously, you forget most of them over the years. So it’s a lovely challenge. My son is 3 years old now and it’s probably a bit too early to go through this kind of quiz. On the other hand, I noticed how he is more and more interested in our old terrestrial globe! Every now and then we sit in front of it and he wants me to explain what this is all about! So lovely 🙂

    So thanks again for your inspirational post!

    All the best,
    chris

    1. Yes Chris – this is definitely not for 3 year-olds!

      I’m glad you like the fill in the missing gaps activity. 

      With children you could just copy and paste a few depending on age, or for an adult quiz use them all and maybe even take out a few more letters.

  3. Excellent pieces of information!  I have been a special educator for 17yrs and also enjoy teaching and coaching.  I especially enjoy working with individuals with special needs.  The site you provided is very inspirational and will bring value to many parents out there looking to do additional educational activities with them.  Please keep creating great content in this subject area!  Nice Work!

  4. Hello,

    Very informative website! Terrific ideas on how to engage children in mathematics. Today it seems children are not sitting still enough in classrooms and at home to really get the concepts of math as they should be. Your ideas may close the gap some.

    My niece’s child care provider is always looking for ideas on how to extend education among the children she care for. As an after school provider of care for children ranging from 3 – 11years old, she want the children to continue to learn under her care.

    What would you recommend for a group setting (age specific)?

    And, or;

    What would you recommend for a group of all ages within one group?

    Thank you,

    Diane

    1. Hi, for after school activities I would recommend getting in some games that children will enjoy engaging with. They will soon start teaching each other.

  5. Hi ! great insight and information regarding euro country and capital.I learned some of the new country and capital from your post, and i  always find myself confused with particular bern the country .I think sometime it is overwhelming to remember/recognise the mistake as some of the capital as so big that it feels like it is a country. Thank you for the compiling the list for our convenience.Cheers

     

  6. Hi Julia,

    You have created an excellent list here.  This is not just helpful for children, but for everyone.  I am going to bookmark this page for myself.  I need to brush up on my geographical skills.

    Do you maybe have a PDF document you are willing to share on your page?

    Thanks for a great list with fun activities!

  7. HAHA! I thought I was an ace at geography. There were a handful of cities I missed and I wasn’t aware that Azerbaijan was even in Europe? Most importantly I was able to brush up on my European geography. What really helps “trick” my mind into remembering is how you have a list of the countries – and cities, but with their vowels missing ( the capital letter is the clue) When I looked over the main list a few times, plus – for me it helps to repeat outloud, I was able to easily identify all the correct cities and countries. Easy peasy! 

  8. Such a good information about European capitals after reading your site a found very interesting how they use capital and you right the not many people know about it.. i put my kid to read a little bit and she have fun learning this new letters for her, she was asking me if we can buy a book of this European countries and capital.. thank you for the info..

  9. I am always frustrated by many American’s lack of history and geography knowledge. Many barely know where the capital of our own country is. I looked at these lists and saw that I didn’t know many of the European capitals however!

    Good for you for spreading this basic information that most of us don’t know! I now have a few more committed to memory. 

    Thanks!

    Jessica

    1. Hi Swangirl,

      I was quite surprised that I didn’t know all of them – so I enjoyed creating this for others to enjoy and benefit from.
