- Label the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern edge of the map and draw a compass rose indicating North, South, East, and West.
- Label each of the thirteen colonies in their correct geographical locations: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
- Color the New England Colonies (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut) with one color, the Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware) with a second color, and the Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia) with a third color. Create a key at the bottom or side of the map showing which color corresponds to which region.
