El Salvador departments quiz: 14 to find, 5 asked by capital, and the San/Santa trap

A student in a Central America unit plays the three quizzes in turn. “Find the place” asks all 14 departments in random order; none is small enough to need a circle. The two capitals quizzes ask different numbers, because nine of the fourteen capitals carry their department’s name.

  1. Left out of find-from-capital: Ahuachapán, Chalatenango, Santa Ana, San Miguel, Sonsonate, San Salvador, San Vicente, La Unión and Usulután, whose capital would name the answer.
  2. “Choose the capital” highlights a department and offers four capitals, mostly from nearby: for Morazán, say, San Francisco Gotera with San Miguel, Cojutepeque and Santa Tecla.
  3. Eight of the 14 capitals start with S, so the same-letter answer is nearly always another San or Santa: read the whole name before you click.

Choose the capital 14All, also the nine named like their department, such as San Miguel and Santa Ana

The end shows, for example, “Done! 12/14 in 1:40” with the departments missed; in “Choose the capital” each appears as department · capital, such as “Morazán · San Francisco Gotera”, and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the departments by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Which capitals are asked?
In find-from-capital, those that differ from the department’s name, such as Santa Tecla for La Libertad and Zacatecoluca for La Paz. Choose the capital asks all of them.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Is San Salvador asked in the capitals quizzes?
In “Choose the capital”, yes: “What is the capital of San Salvador?” has San Salvador among its four answers. “Find it from its capital” leaves the department out, since its capital would name it.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
