Australia - The Land Down Under - Video and Review Games for the Year

Haven't you just loved learning about the culture of the people from another continent and seeing the landforms of  the beautiful country  so far away from where we live.  Here is a short video that is just audio that you haven't seen that you can share with your family and tell them some of the information that you learned.

Now, a little more of a challenge !!!  I know the map is small, but can you label the countries of the world.  They are only asking you to do 30.  We covered 15 on your quizzes, we discussed 20 during the year, and I am sure while talking about current events you have heard about the other ten some time.  Give it your best effort!
