India is such a diverse country, and we should all know about it as much as possible! We truly have inherited a goldmine of heritage, traditions, and cultures that set us apart from the rest of the world and make us who we are- a diverse nation that’s united on all fronts.
While there is no age to learn about our beautiful nation, starting early is best. Kids in junior school or preschool must be taught about India, its states, and union territories as they are a very important part of general knowledge. Taking a quiz on Indian states and capitals can get kids curious enough to want to know more about our country.
Moreover, as important as it is to learn about the alphabets and numbers, understanding the states and capitals of India and other countries is also important. It helps children recognise differences between regions and appreciate their significance. Knowing the states and capitals of India builds strong general knowledge. It also enhances your little one’s cultural awareness.
In this blog, we have created a fun quiz on states and capitals of India that you can play with your little one.
