How the Landlocked countries worksheets work

There is no answer sheet: the maps are blank, so pupils decide which countries are landlocked by looking for a coast. Each sheet reminds pupils that the Caspian Sea counts as a lake where it matters, and very small countries are circled so they can be coloured.

Each activity has its instructions, a key to colour in and space for pupils' answers printed on the sheet. The maps are crisp black line drawings with no names, so they photocopy cleanly and pupils do the finding themselves.
