Language of Stamps
Within stamps lies an entire world of language and culture.
'Language of Stamps' is a series of resources for studying language and culture using postage stamps. Click on the language box below to access the various games and competitions.
Geography of Stamps
You can learn a lot about different countries through stamps. Geography of Stamps is a game for finding out about different countries around the world and which continent they belong to. This game also helps with learning how to identify the country of postage stamps.
The UK game not only gives an idea of some themes you can collect but also links to learning about English grammar. The Australian game features some of the 'Wildlife Recovery' stamps from 2020. Also see the South American games below.
