Asian Geography Map and Research Skills Activity

Students will review map skills and research skills by going on a geography treasure hunt through Asia. There are 35 questions and most answers are either a country, city, landform, landmark, or animal. Three questions have students identify which locations correspond to 12 latitude and longitude coordinates. 

There are then 2 questions to determine where the "treasure" is located (one letter from some of the previous questions will give students what they need to find the location). They must identify the country and the specific landform/landmark within the country to "find the treasure." They will then creatively, but plausibly, describe how they could retrieve the "treasure" from said location. Lastly, students will draw or describe what the treasure is that they have uncovered. 

Time permitting, a map is included where students can mark the locations of each answer. The answers are included and if your students have access to research materials this would be great for a sub!

Sample questions include:
--Which country is considered a subcontinent?
--Which country has the least dense population?
--In which country can you eat Tom Kha Gai?
--Which plant is prevalent in the Sundarbans wetland area?
--In which country can you hear Tagalog?
--Which city and country is home to Jogyesa Temple?
--In which body of water can you find Turtle Islands?
--Which is the longest river on the continent?
--Which Asian countries are landlocked? 
--On which river is the Taj Mahal?
