Countries Game: you pick a continent and it asks you where the countries are within that continent, you click on it and are reinforced or corrected. States and Provinces Game: You pick either the US or Canada and are asked to find the state or province and you click on it and are reinforced or corrected. They are all fun and motivating. This might be useful to use for remediation or practice of basic geographical knowledge. http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Games/GeographyGames/Geospy Tichey-Staack, Mary" mticheystaack@ridgefield.org Just got this site today and it looks great! http://www.fedstats.gov/kids/mapstats/network.html Here are some I bookmarked about goegraphy, maps, countries, US, games, etc. http://www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/ http://www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/ http://www.randmcnally.com/ http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/web_games.htm http://www.50states.com/ http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0012/feature1/ http://www.factmonster.com/countries.html=20 http://www.cyberschoolbus.un.org/infonation/index.asp http://www.uen.org/utahlink/tours/tourFames.cgi?tour_id=13481 http://gnswww.nga.mil/geonames/GNS/index.jsp http://www.eduplace.com/geonet/index.html http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Games/GeographyGames/Geospy http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0012/feature1/zoom1.html http://www.time.com/time/potw/ http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/panoramic_photo/ http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/places/directory.html Colette Colette D.
