Printable map of Spanish-speaking countries

Spanish teachers print this map for the start of a unit, a vocabulary test on countries or a wall display, and tutors use it for homework. You get two versions as PDFs for A4 or Letter: With country borders, with all 20 countries shown as separate shapes, and a Blank outline of the land. No names are printed, which leaves the naming to pupils.

Labelling in Spanish

The blank names are the point here. Pupils write each country's name in Spanish, using the list further down this page as the answer key, and add the article where one is needed. For a fast starter, number eight countries on a copy and give pupils three minutes. A harder round asks for the names with correct spelling and accents, marked by a partner.

Other ways to use the sheet

Younger learners can colour countries as they meet them in class: Mexico first, then Spain, then a new one each week, so the sheet becomes a record of the course. A group project can give each pair one country; they colour it, write three Spanish sentences about it in the margin and pin their sheet around a larger display.

For a quick atlas task, ask pupils to find Spain and Equatorial Guinea on a wider map first, then mark them here.

Versions and print choices

With country borders is the version for any task where a country must be named or coloured. Choose the Blank outline for drawing borders by hand. Colour suits one sheet for the wall; black and white suits a class set. To shade chosen countries first, use the bar on the map and Download your map. For printed names, a title or A3, choose Customise before printing.
