Community reviews for World Geography Games

It is a fun and possibly addicting game and might appeal to those students that like to compete for better scores or challenge themselves to do better at each drill. I like that the game times a student for their information, but does not shut them down if they have not successfully located information. It seems like it would be good for the student that needs a slower pace to learn. This may be a great practice tool to apply what has been taught in the classroom and assist with homework. A suggestion would be to add an audio feature to recite the correct answer in addition to the pop-up, to help those who respond to audio stimuli.

This is an independent practice activity for students to practice topics in our curriculum like continents, oceans, countries, regions, and states. Some students enjoyed challenging themselves to learn additional topics like islands, mountains, seas, lakes, rivers, volcanos, or deserts. The game is rote practice of location, but this is often the base knowledge that deeper conversations about geography. My classroom includes a mix of netbooks and iPad minis. This website only works with Flash, so it functions on the netbooks but not the iPads.
