Geography Games
Nestled among dozens of educational games
for upper elementary
students are five geography games.
On this page, you'll find Capital Field Trip, Capitals, Flag Flags, Where
in the World Is? and U.S. State Detective ("Where is Illinois? No, that's
Wisconsin.") Fourth, fifth and sixth grades can race against the clock,
as they learn the capitals, flags, countries and states.
Younger kids can select the first
or second grade category to play Geography Jumble where they can
rearrange the virtual alphabet magnets to spell geography-related
words. |
Where
is That?
"The game where your mind is your map."
Choose from seven maps
and five levels of difficulty. Level
one starts with multiple choice questions ("Is this France, Russia or Germany?")
Level five means spelling the country or state AND its capital city. Want
to play against a buddy? Hats off to Funbrain for including
a two-player version, where each player
can choose his own level
of difficulty. |
Where
in the World?
Start your geography lesson by choosing
a region of the world,
and studying the interactive maps which
name each country as your mouse passes over it. When you're ready for the
games, each region has three to choose from: Find Game ("Where is
Finland?"), Quiz Game ("This country is famous for its clocks.") or Word
Game (a hangman-like word guessing game). My favorite click is Quiz
Game; but remember you must choose a region before you'll see the game
choices. |
