Geography games for kids and adults!


This is one of my favorite websites. I think I like it so much because I get to play too! My fourth grade students work on the United States. Either...



Capitals

States

Landscape


I like to work on world geography. It is fun and challenging at the same time. Whatever you are studying, you start at the learning level. They will show you the area you selected, break it into smaller parts and tell you the name of the country, state, capital or whatever. Then you do a quiz starting at level 1. They time you and keep track of your accuracy. Then you can move up to harder and harder levels, eventually sizing and placing outlines of states into their correct places. Other levels have you working on spelling. My students are learning the locations of the states for the first time ever.
