Geography is Fun!

We love geography! We have maps on our walls, we love to look at globes, play geography games, and work on geography puzzles.

Livy worked on puting the world puzzle together with me the other day. I would give her a piece and tell her it was a part of Africa, or Australia, and we would find where the continent was. After a while, she started to remember the continents by name, and where they were located!

We also love the geography games at http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Geography.htm

And here's some other fun ones:

And here http://www.crayola.com/free-coloring-pages/learn/states/ there are printable coloring pages for each state.

We also love to play National Geographic's GeoBee board game. And we all get their magazines. Mark and I receive the original National Geographic, Georgia gets the National Geographic Kids magazine, and Olivia receives the National Geographic Little Kids Magazine.

Their websites are very informative and fun, as well. The kids love to play games, watch videos, and learn new things at their kids' site: http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/

And we love to watch programs on the National Geographic Channel.

Yes, we are members of National Geographic. Perhaps the title of this post should be changed to National Geographic Lovers!!
