For teachers & tutors

YAYTAP turns geography practice into short visual rounds that are easy to fit into a lesson. There is no login wall, so a class can move from a two-minute warm-up to a harder map challenge without spending the lesson on setup.

A gentle start for beginners

World Map is built as a progression rather than one giant test. Early levels use familiar, easier-to-find countries; later levels increase the number, variety and difficulty. Beginners can build confidence before reaching the hardest maps.

World Map Flag Match Flag Memory

For a new learner, start with recognition games before asking for exact recall. Flag Match and Flag Memory are especially friendly because the learner repeatedly sees the same visual information while playing.

Learn geography through everyday life

Not every learner connects with blank maps. YAYTAP also uses food, desserts, snacks, landmarks, animals, toys and capitals so countries appear in memorable real-world contexts. A student may first remember a country because of a familiar snack, then recognize it later on a map.

How Flag Memory works

Players turn over cards and match pairs of the same country flag. The game rewards careful memory rather than fast guessing, so it works well as a low-pressure introduction to flags. After students know a few flags by sight, move to Flag Guess for active recall.

Beginner sequence: Flag Memory → Flag Match → Flag Guess. The same visual knowledge becomes progressively more demanding.

Concrete ways to use YAYTAP in class

2–3 min
Warm-up

Project one quick game before the lesson starts. Use a familiar Flag Match, Daily 5 or an easy World Map level to settle the class and activate prior knowledge.

5–10 min
Map ladder

Let students begin at an easy World Map level and move upward only when comfortable. Mixed-ability learners can work on different levels without needing different worksheets.

10–15 min
Stations

Rotate small groups through a map station, a flags/capitals station and a culture station using food, snacks, desserts or landmarks. Students meet the same world through different clue types.

5 min
Exit ticket

Choose one short game connected to the day’s topic. Ask students to note one country they missed and one new fact or association they want to remember.

Tutoring
1-to-1

Start with whichever game the learner enjoys most, then use ALSO TRY after a round to jump to a different game before practice becomes repetitive.

Keep mixed-ability groups moving

YAYTAP is deliberately not one difficulty level. A beginner can work with familiar countries and recognition-based games while a confident learner moves into harder world maps, country shapes, borders, population comparisons and geography facts. That makes it useful for a class where everyone does not need the same starting point.

After a leaderboard or completed round, ALSO TRY offers a quick route into another game. It is useful when a student is tired of one format but still has a few minutes left.

MAKE A CUSTOM REVIEW

5-Country Challenge

Choose exactly five countries and create one share link for a class, tutoring session, sibling or friend. The player gets a five-country map round and can use the challenge leaderboard when eligible.

Pick any 5 countries.The button turns on at 5/5. One click creates the link and copies it.

0/ 5 selected

Your share link will appear here after 5/5.

A simple lesson pattern

Predict → play → notice → replay. Before a round, ask learners what they expect. After it, pause on one or two misses. Then replay or switch formats. The goal is repeated recognition in small doses, not memorizing a long list all at once.
