Mapping Games

For a while now I've been spending a lot of time on a trivia website, www.sporcle.com. Although there is a wide variety of games and questions available, I usually concentrate on the geography section. I practice naming countries of the world and memorizing where they are.

Due to the amount of games I've played I decided to create an account and keep track of my good scores. Here's a screen shot of my profile BtbaMmm.











Here you can see the format of the game. They supply you an empty map and you fill countries as you go. Each game has a time limit usually based on difficulty. I think tools like these can be fun and educational which is the perfect match for early education students. Geography is very important at an early age because the idea of place and surroundings are a recurring theme in life. Spatial awareness and knowledge are important aspects in my life and entertaining tools like these help keep my passion.
