I created this resource to use in my classroom this year, and thought I’d share in case anyone else found it useful. 20 fact files including location and mainly physical geography of countries, which will be displayed around a world map. There’s a blank template too so you can add other countries to suit your curriculum. Here’s the link so you don’t have to read any more if you don’t want to.

I’ve chosen these categories based on my class’s prior learning and what we will be learning this year. When I teach lessons on countries, I will include more of the human geography and other aspects of the culture; this shouldn’t be seen as a reflection of our entire geography curriculum. It’s just what I’ve decided will be useful to have on the display.
Please let me know (in the comments or on Twitter) if you spot any errors, or think that something should be changed/added. I’m more familiar with some of these countries than others and want the resource to be as accurate a reflection of each country as possible.
I have to credit this fantastic post by Aiden Severs for helping me decide on the content. http://www.thatboycanteach.co.uk/2019/06/geography-key-questions-place-national-curriculum.html
