Maps of World <http://www.mapsofworld.com/> is a great resource for geography students and practitioners to take advantage of in order to improve their identification of the world’s many countries and cities. The site boasts having high quality maps of just about anywhere, but it was one of the games that caught my attention. The one that asks you to Know Your World. How hard could it be?

This game gives you 10 seconds to remember as many different countries and cities on a map as you can, then it takes away the text and leaves you with a bank map.

• The game prompts you with various locations,
• Users must locate them using their mouse (or an interactive white-board is even better. If you are anything like me, you’ll get to about round six before your brain gives up.

The game is a fun way to improve geography skills or for learners to study for an upcoming assessment.
