Geography Games

As I was randomly surfing the Internet I found (you are going to have to work to follow me here but it’s a fun trip) a YouTube video that explained how maps worked that led to another video about a map game.  This map game looked like fun but I couldn’t figure out how to find it online so I read the information from the person that uploaded it and there was the link!  However, the user said they had since found a more entertaining group of games.  The link for the more entertaining games can be found here. Ah…there is no end to the amount of work I will go to just to find something to entertain and educate you!

All of the quizzes ask you to locate specific items on the map.  There are over two dozen games to play.  You can choose The World, variations on the United States, or various other countries or continents. 

These would be great to use with your children over the summer.  IF you are a teacher you could use these as rewards.  Kids love games and any excuse to be on the computer makes them happy.  If you can sneak in a learning experience all the better!

I played several of the versions and even though I taught Geography for a couple of years I was surprised by what I did (and more often didn’t) know :)  Go play the games and let me know how your geography skills stand up!  Are there other geography games out there that you especially like?  Leave your suggestions below and I’ll go check them out!
