Locating Countries of Europe Map Worksheet (teacher made) - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to match each country name from the list with its correct location on the map of Europe. The map has numbered boxes (1 to 16) placed over different countries. We will go one by one and identify which country is in each box based on geography.

Let’s start:

Box 1 – This is a small island nation west of Great Britain. That’s Ireland.
→ So, Box 1 = Ireland → matches key #2? Wait — let’s check the key again.

Wait — actually, looking at the key provided in the image (which we must use):

Key:
1. Iceland
2. Ireland
3. United Kingdom
4. Spain
5. France
6. Netherlands
7. Italy
8. Germany
9. Sweden
10. Poland
11. Ukraine
12. Romania
13. Czechia
14. Lithuania
15. Russia
16. Greece

Now, let’s look at the map positions:

- Top left, far northwest island: That’s Iceland → should be box near it. Looking at map: there’s a box over Iceland → that’s likely box 1? But wait — the boxes are labeled with numbers already on the map? Actually, no — the instruction says: “Write the number for each country in the correct box.” And the key lists countries 1–16. The map has empty boxes with lines pointing to countries. So we need to write the KEY NUMBER (from 1 to 16) into each box on the map that points to a country.

But since we can’t see the actual box numbers on the map clearly in text, we have to assume standard positioning.

Actually — re-reading: “Can you identify the countries listed below on the map of Europe? Write the number for each country in the correct box.”

And the key gives:

Country Name → Number

So for example, if the map has a box pointing to Iceland, we write “1” in that box.

If a box points to Ireland, we write “2”, etc.

So our job is: for each geographic location shown on the map (with a box), assign the correct number from the key.

Since we don’t have visual access, we rely on standard European geography and typical worksheet layouts.

Let’s reconstruct based on common knowledge:

Typical layout for such maps:

- Iceland → top left, isolated island → usually labeled as 1 → so box over Iceland gets “1”
- Ireland → west of UK → often labeled 2 → box over Ireland gets “2”
- United Kingdom → main island including England, Scotland, Wales → labeled 3 → box over UK gets “3”
- Spain → southwest peninsula → labeled 4 → box over Spain gets “4”
- France → south of UK, west of Germany → labeled 5 → box over France gets “5”
- Netherlands → small country north of Belgium, west of Germany → labeled 6 → box over Netherlands gets “6”
- Italy → boot-shaped peninsula → labeled 7 → box over Italy gets “7”
- Germany → central Europe, east of France → labeled 8 → box over Germany gets “8”
- Sweden → large Scandinavian country, east of Norway → labeled 9 → box over Sweden gets “9”
- Poland → east of Germany → labeled 10 → box over Poland gets “10”
- Ukraine → large country east of Poland → labeled 11 → box over Ukraine gets “11”
- Romania → southeast Europe, north of Bulgaria → labeled 12 → box over Romania gets “12”
- Czechia → central Europe, west of Poland → labeled 13 → box over Czechia gets “13”
- Lithuania → Baltic state, between Latvia and Belarus → labeled 14 → box over Lithuania gets “14”
- Russia → huge country extending east → only western part shown → labeled 15 → box over Russian exclave or Kaliningrad? Or maybe the big area east of Ukraine? Typically, they put a box over the European part → labeled 15
- Greece → southern tip of Balkans → labeled 16 → box over Greece gets “16”

Now, assuming the map follows standard placement, here’s how the boxes would be filled:

We’ll list the country and the number to write in its box:

- Iceland → 1
- Ireland → 2
- United Kingdom → 3
- Spain → 4
- France → 5
- Netherlands → 6
- Italy → 7
- Germany → 8
- Sweden → 9
- Poland → 10
- Ukraine → 11
- Romania → 12
- Czechia → 13
- Lithuania → 14
- Russia → 15
- Greece → 16

This matches the key exactly.

Therefore, for each box on the map pointing to a country, you write the corresponding number from the key.

Final Answer:
The numbers to write in the boxes correspond directly to the key:
Iceland → 1, Ireland → 2, United Kingdom → 3, Spain → 4, France → 5, Netherlands → 6, Italy → 7, Germany → 8, Sweden → 9, Poland → 10, Ukraine → 11, Romania → 12, Czechia → 13, Lithuania → 14, Russia → 15, Greece → 16.
