Spanish-Speaking Countries & Capitals (Printable)

About this resource

What's inside this resource

A two-column reference chart lists 21 Spanish-speaking countries and territories grouped by region — the Caribbean (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico), North America (Mexico), Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama), South America (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia), and Europe/Africa (Spain, Equatorial Guinea) — alongside each capital city. A 21-item fill-in-the-blank worksheet then asks students to supply either the missing country or the missing capital for each pair (e.g., "La capital de Puerto Rico es __________"), written entirely in Spanish. The file includes a second, fully completed copy of the same 21 items with every blank correctly filled in (e.g., "La capital de Puerto Rico es SAN JUAN"), serving as a ready-made answer key. The resource is credited to The Spanish Resource Engine, 2023.
