 Help Your Students
Master World Geography in Just 7 Months

By Terri Johnson

Are you ever surprised by how little geography most kids know these days?
Are you surprised by how little geography you learned yourself back when
you were in school? American students, in general, have a very limited
understanding of world geography in comparison with students from around
the world. European students, for example, have a much better handle not
only of their own surrounding geography but of the entire world also. It is
the same with students from many parts of Asia and other regions of the
world as well.

Perhaps you are thinking that I am only referring to public school

students. But in reality, homeschooling students often suffer from a lack
of knowledge in this subject area also. The two subjects most neglected in
the homeschooling arena are writing and geography. Why is this so? Skill
areas, such as math, grammar and spelling are easier to measure than the
artful skill of writing and so it gets pushed aside. Similarly, history and
science require such large portions of time that geography is often put on
the back burner and rarely attended.

Since writing is not my expertise, we’ll just tackle the subject of geography
here in this special report. How can we beef up our child’s knowledge of
geography in a way that will not require too much time or proficiency on our
part as parents and teachers? Further, how can we introduce or accelerate
this subject in a way that will be enjoyable, even painless, for our students
as well as ourselves?

Here is my seven month plan that will help you help your students master
world and U.S. geography is just seven months. Think I’m crazy? Follow
this step-by-step program and take my challenge over the course of the next
seven month time period (note: this can run into or through the summer
months as your kids will not consider this “school work”). If your students
have not improved drastically in their knowledge of geography, please write
to me and tell me that I am off my rocker and that it doesn’t work. Here
is my email address – terri@knowledgequestmaps.com. On the contrary,
if you do see dramatic improvement, even mastery, in the subject of world
and U.S. geography, write to me at the above address also. I would like to
celebrate with you in this wonderful accomplishment!
 Globalmania - Master World Geography in Just 7 Months

Let’s dive in… We will divide our program into seven 1-month increments.
This is the only part of this program where you will need to make a decision.
Each of the seven months, your student/s will study a different continent
or geographical area and you get to decide the order in which these will be
tackled. Here are the seven geographical areas:

Asia
Africa
Europe
United States
North America
South America
Australasia/Antarctica

Each month will now be broken down into four weeks. If you have end up
with a fifth week in your month, just consider it review day and have some
extra fun in that geographical zone. Pick one day of the week that will work
best for spending some time with geography. For us, Fridays work best
because they are more of a catch-all day. This day of the week is a bit more
relaxed for us with less time constraints. You choose the day that will work
best for your family and then allow your student 30 - 45 minutes, or even up
to an hour, for geography fun.

Note: This course of study requires that you have a computer and an
internet connection available to you. If you do not have this at home, you
may want to choose your library day for your geography studies so that you
can take advantage of the internet connection there. Or perhaps you can
visit a relative’s home that does have an internet connection. Most of our
society now has access to the internet, but if this is not an option for you,
then you may want to choose a different program for your children.

With that said, we will lay out our course of study for the 4 or 5 days out
of the month that your children will work on increasing their geography
knowledge.

Month 1: Week 1:

This is the day that we determine the baseline of each student’s current
knowledge in this particular geographical region (whichever part of the
world that you have chosen for this month – see list above). Before you get
started with your kids, however, there are two things I want you to do first.
The first order of business is to download a great geography game from the
internet that is completely free and very fun to play. It is located here -
http://www.wartoft.nu/software/seterra/.
3
 Globalmania - Master World Geography in Just 7 Months

Once the game is downloaded onto your computer, click the icon that reads
Seterra 2.9 or 3.0 to begin the game (version number may be higher).
Select the language that you speak and click OK. Select the region of the
country that you are working on this month and press the START button.
We will focus on the subject areas of Countries, Capitals and Cities.

Now is the time to set the baseline for your own knowledge and familiarize
yourself with the game. Choose Countries and click the START button. A
map will load for the region that you chose and a country name will appear
at the very top. Click the location on the map where you believe that
country exists. If you choose the correct location, the map region will turn
white. If you get it on the second try, it will turn a pale yellow. If you
choose the correct location on the third try, the country will turn a darker
yellow. If you do not choose the correct location on this turn, the country
will brighten to a light green. Click on it now and it will change to the color
red. Continue to identify the countries as best as you can until the quiz is
completed. Seterra will give you a score for this round with a place to type
in your name. Type it in and then continue to test your knowledge in the
Capitals and then the Cities.

Now determine a baseline for your children. Have them complete the same
quizzes and mark their levels by typing in their names at the end of the
rounds. Now, your kids can continue to play these games to gain higher
scores to beat their previous scores and more significantly, YOU. They will
have a lot of fun doing this. Don’t feel bad if they pass you by very quickly,
that’s what you are aiming for. Besides, you can play later once they lose
interest in the game and increase your scores ideally to 100% with just a
little bit of practice.

Week 2:

Choose two or three additional online games for your students to play that
will test their knowledge of geography in that same region. Remember, you
are concentrating for one whole month on just one area of the world. It may
be tempting for your students to want to switch to another region of the
world when they feel like they have a good handle on the area that you have
chosen for them this month, but try to keep them focused on this one large
section of the world so that they gain even greater mastery and expertise in
this location. They can begin to learn bodies of water and landforms once
they get their countries, capitals and cities down pat. This is an optional
exercise for those that are getting bored with the basics.

Here are some additional online games to choose from. There are eight
websites listed here, but remember to just pick two or three for this week.

 Globalmania - Master World Geography in Just 7 Months

1. Sheppard Software has provided many free geography games at their

website - http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Geography.htm. There are
various levels of play so that your beginners and advanced students alike
can find something to hold their interest. You do need to have Flash Player
6 or higher on your computer to be able to play these games, but no other
downloading is necessary. The instructions are minimal, so it takes a few
minutes to get the hang of the games in some instances (or at least it did for
me!). Also, they do have other games across the curriculum, so feel free to
check out their science and vocabulary games as well – plus many others!

2. If you or your children like puzzles, then you will love this website! At
this website - http://www.yourchildlearns.com/geography.htm - you can
either play with the on-line puzzle maps, or you can download them to your
own computer. If you would rather not download them, here is the direct
link to the online map puzzles - http://www.yourchildlearns.com/map-
puzzles.htm. These are a lot of fun and a great learning tool for kids of all
ages (yes, even adults!).

3. Take National Geographic’s Geography Bee quiz! These questions can be

fairly tough, but you get a second and even third chance to get them right
(there are only 3 choices per question) thereby allowing you to KNOW the
answer, which you are unlikely to forget. Also, the questions are new every
day, so you can play every day and get new questions to answer. Very fun!
Here’s the website - http://www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee

4. Test your knowledge of world or regional geography with this fun quiz at
http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/. A great aspect of this game is
that children can see improvement quickly, even by their second round at
the same quiz. Builds confidence and knowledge!

5. This quiz site - http://www.ilike2learn.com/ilike2learn/geography.asp

- allows you to not only learn about the countries and capitals of the
world, but also the mountains and bodies of water. If you need a hint, or
the answer, it comes in the form of a pop-up, so you may need to disable
your pop-up blocker. This site seems to add new games frequently. Great
learning tool!

6. This quiz site - http://www.garyradley.com/games - has both “find”

games and “quiz” games giving your students a well-rounded familiarity with
the countries of the world. My only trouble with these particular games was
that it was sometimes difficult to click on the correct country because the
hand spread over more than one country area. But overall, this is a great
site to round out your online geography games.

Week 3:

This week, you will need to print some maps for your students to label and
color. These maps have been provided for you at the end of this report.
Print the maps that have been included for the region that you are studying
during this month. Print a teacher’s answer map for yourself and a blank
map for each of your children. Ask them to label each of the country and
city names that they can remember. They may freeze up and not remember
very much. Do not worry about this. Have them leave their unfinished
maps, play another two or three of the online games listed above. After 30
minutes or so, have them come back to their map and see how much more
information they can add to it. Again, I wouldn’t force them to complete
everything if they are unsure of the answers. You will come back to this
later. They may be encouraged to color their map if this is an enjoyable
activity for them. If not, don’t push it. The goal here is to learn geography,
not press through a coloring exercise they don’t enjoy.

Note: If you have young students who can read well, but struggle with
the manual effort of handwriting, you may certainly have them dictate
the locations to you. Again, we are learning geography here, not doing a
handwriting lesson (unless, of course, you are combining your skill areas).
Your judgment should advise you about how much handwriting your children
are capable of accomplishing in a given day.

Week 4:

Now that your students have a good handle on the geography of the region
you are studying, it’s time to test that knowledge and skill in games against
other players. Here are a couple of websites where your kids can play with
other players online. You do not have to use your real name or identity. In
fact, I would suggest that you do not, but do give yourself a name you will
recognize. Be creative when giving yourself or your students a user name.
It can be part of the fun. Allow your students some time to play these
games as they compete against fellow geography enthusiasts and increase
their scores.

1. Here is a great quiz site - http://www.actionquiz.com/quiz.php?trivia=ge

ography. Here you can play against other kids and teachers and see if you
can win. You do not have to use your real name (no reason to, so don’t!)
and the game uses a pop-up window. So, if your computer blocks pop-ups,
you either have to disable that feature to play, or if you get a message that
allows you to open the pop-up, you can go about it that way. Warning: this
is a fun game to play and rather addicting. After playing five times against

6
 Globalmania - Master World Geography in Just 7 Months

some strong opponents, I finally won! Also, these quizzes also include flag
symbols. You may want to learn the flags for the countries before playing
this game. You can use the Seterra game on your computer to help you
learn these. Or use the sheppard games listed under point 1 of week 2.

2. This website - http://www.geosense.net - also allows you to play alone

of against another player. You are asked to not only identify countries of the
world but cities as well. It is quite challenging and also very addicting. I
played six rounds against my opponent and only won twice (and I thought
I knew my geography like the back of my hand – reality check!). If you do
not mind that your scores are not recorded in their log, you can play as a
guest. Or create a login ID to keep track of your scores and establish an
identity at this site.

Caution: The website above contains a chat feature on the home page
which you may not find appropriate for your children to read or use for
discussion with other players. I would recommend that an adult navigate
past the home page before turning the computer over to your child.)

When your students can compete against other players and win consistently
(or even half the time), they are ready to move onto the next region of the
world, which you will do starting next week unless you have a “fifth” week in
your month.

Also, this week, have your kids color in and label the geographical portion of
the world that they have worked diligently on this past month. You can do
this on a regular sized world outline map (included for you on page 10) or on
a wall sized outline map. Wall maps measuring 24” x 30” are available from
www.knowledgequestmaps.com/wallmaps.htm. These are inexpensively
priced at $7.95. When your students work on wall maps, they can complete
this exercise together rather than individually for a fun change of pace.

Week 5:

If you happen to get a 5th week in your month, you will want to use this
extra day for reviewing all of the areas of the world that you have studied
so far. See the suggestions listed under Months 8, 9 and Beyond and utilize
these activities or go back and review the areas by continuing to play the
games listed above.

Months 2-7:

Continue the course of study outlined under month 1.

7
 Globalmania - Master World Geography in Just 7 Months

Months 8, 9 and beyond:

Well, you and your students did it. You completed the 7 month geography
challenge! How did you do? Are you pleased with the results? And you may
be wondering, what now? Well, I have some suggestions… Continue with
your scheduled geography time slot each week and incorporate some of the
great resources and games below to keep the fun going the rest of the year
and into the next!

1. Borderline Card Games – You can read more about these here:
www.knowledgequestmaps.com/borderline.htm

2. Maptangle Game – This game plays like Twister only using a large map
instead of a sheet with large colorful dots. You can read more about the
game here – www.knowledgequestmaps.com/borderline.htm.

3. Learn more great history and geography facts about the United States
(if this is your homeland) using the The Star-Spangled State Book - a new
geography curriculum published by Knowledge Quest, Inc. (We’ll keep you
posted as to when our new World geography curriculum is available!)

The Star-Spangled State Book by Joel F. King

states! From the mysterious disappearance of England’s first
American settlement to California’s population explosion of 1849,
you’ll experience the growth of a new nation. From Plymouth Rock
to Pearl Harbor, you’ll follow the courses of American history and
geography! And when you’re done and you think you’ve learned
everything you can... Well, crack your knuckles, take a seat, and
turn the pages to one of our challenging brain games. Trust me, if
you want to stay in the know, the four GeoQuizzes are for you!

“If one of your goals for your child’s education is for him to learn all about the 50 United
States, then you’ll definitely want to check out the Star-Spangled State Book. You won’t
find a more well-organized, thorough, or colorful resource anywhere. Geography and
history, facts and games, all work together to make this the best US geography curriculum
on the market!” - Nancy Carter, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
