[AlwaysLearning] Geography game
Pat Cald...
We recently got a software game called Travelrama. Unfortunately, it has bugs and I plan to send it back. Allison loves the game and I told her we could look for another one. So does anyone have a map type software game or even board game that they like?
With this game 1-4 people can play. Each player is given 5 postcards they need to collect by going to the appropriate state to collect them. On their turn, the player would spin electronically and win mileage, then choose a travel destination with in those miles. The first person to collect all post cards and return home wins.

Pre kids, my husband and I played with maps.
One game we played was a file folder with two holes cut in it (or two file
folders with differen size holes)--one about 2" across and one twice that
(for places like Utah)--and the game was, put the circle somewhere on an
atlas page so the rest of the cardboard is covering up what page you're on
and such, and see if you can guess from the place names what state or
province it is. Foreign countries were too easy; England too crowded. So
we'd just use kinda-rural parts of north America. Northern Mexico was okay,
because the names could be Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas, maybe.
We haven't played it with kids. Maybe we think they don't know as much as we
did, or haven't shown the interest in place names.

a game but is still cool and EDUCATIONAL <gg>
