I saw
these three games mentioned in the New York Times awhile back and just came across the clipping I saved, so
how about some last minute gift ideas that all double as geography lessons too! You can never go wrong with a board
game, in my opinion. These games are for geography and travel trivia buffs of all ages:
10 Days in Africa
Players must chart a course across connectiong
African nations from start to finish. The first traveler to make a complete ten day
journey wins the game.
Where in the
World?
The game will help players learn names, locations and vital facts about 196 countries, including
country flag, size, monetary unit, religions and languages.
Passport to Culture
As players move about this board they
collect passport stamps by answering questions about cultural traditions. Topics include native customs, geography,
social studies and anthropology.
