I needed to brush up on my geography, and I felt like my children needed to clarify the difference between Guyana, where we have missionary friends and Ghana, where we mistakenly thought they were headed.
We are very cautious about allowing our children to play games on the computer, but these are an exception. They are educational without any frills, and do the job without any inane additions that attempt to make educational activities more palatable to the general public. And best of all, they are free.
(They do offer other “games,” but we haven’t done any of those, so I cannot speak to them.)

I will have to check these out. I was directed to Seterra this year as a great geography game. We haven’t done it yet because I’m a procrastinator, I mean, I am an extremely busy woman with other priorities right now
The truth of it is, I am woefully ignorant in the world of computers and am sure that if I download this game on to my computer I will somehow fritz everything we have…I will try to get brave!

Barbara,
You don’t have to download it! Just play it right on-line. That’s what we do! Simple and easy. Just the way moms like it!
Thanks Bailey. They look really good, too!
