There are three major regions in the country of Sudan. They are Northern Sudan, Southern Sudan and Darfur. We are helping to build a school in Southern Sudan. The capital city of that region is Juba.
1. Can you color Northern Sudan orange, Darfur green and Southern Sudan blue?
2. Can you write the name of the capital city to the right of the star in Southern Sudan?

Sudan Watch:
Thank you for stopping by and for your feedback.
The key word in this exercise is “major” regions. This is a geography lesson that was intended to help Josiah (age 6) learn more about the geography of Sudan.
We started with showing him where Africa is in the world. Then where Sudan is in Africa. Then we focused on locating the Nile River and capital city of Karthoum. This was the fourth lesson, intended to help him understand the major regions.
We certainly understand that Sudan has a very rich and complex history and culture. Much of which changes frequently and can’t easily be mapped. As we go, we’ll likely be unpacking that some more as we talk about tribes, the wars, etc.
But our intent with this lesson was to create a simple geography lesson to help him, and other kids his age, become more familiar with the landscape of Sudan in a very simple way.
