How the South Africa worksheets work

Lesotho and Eswatini are shaded grey so pupils can see that they are separate countries. With only nine provinces, the label-it sheet joins an empty answer box to each province with a line instead of numbering them.

On the label-it and capitals sheets, pupils write the names on the numbered lines – or, where there are ten places or fewer, in the empty answer box joined to each place; the labelled map doubles as a reference sheet. All sheets are crisp black line maps with light shading, so they photocopy and print cleanly in black and white.
