I’ve been trying out a bunch of geography quiz sites and this is my favourite. I like all the different formats: clicking on the right answer, dragging countries like puzzle pieces, and typing in country names. I like the fact that it isn’t timed, that it works well, fast and looks nice, that it has multiple levels of difficulty and that it includes some information about each country, city or area.
I’m pleased to say that I pretty much know the countries and geographical features of the world, but hardly any capital cities. Also I only know about half the US states and maybe 1 or 2 of the Canadian ones. Then again, I know all the states of India and none of the provinces of China, though neither of those features are included.
You have to make a minor adjustment to Firefox to get these games to work in it.
I’ll undoubtedly use this site with Antonia eventually. At the moment though, I prefer her to learn about geography from some kind of real contact with each country, rather than blasting her way through the list. I suspect young children may enjoy the puzzle level with the countries, even though it is rated intermediate.
do you know where Estonia is? 😉
Well, yes, it’s south of Finland on the main part of the continent. That one is not so hard for a European. It’s neighbour, Latvia is less known. Are you from there? What I don’t know is what it’s like.

Wow! this post is attracting the readers who happen to know where Estonia is! But I’m from Poland.
Cool site, though, thanks for the tip.
