By using Sheppard Software's learning games, you will gain a permanant mental map of the world, its continents and geography. This knowledge is the key to learning more about the wonderful world around you.
This interactive Flash program contains 4 levels of difficulty where you can learn and explore.World Geography Games is an educational program that focuses on the most essential aspects of geography. It deals with continents and oceans, and aims to help you learn their position on the map, as well as their spelling and pronunciation. The program consists of two sections, one where you will learn about a selected item, and another with games testing your knowledge in three levels.
The program's playing area is an interactive world map and the game mechanism could not be easier. In Level L, that is the learning section, you only need to click on any continent or ocean, and the program will tell you its name and will display some facts about it. For example, if you click on a continent, the program will tell you a bit about the origin of its name, its area, population, climate, and other short facts, while the program's voice will help you with its pronunciation.
The game or test section consists of three levels with a very simple mechanism, each one testing you in different aspects. For example, at Level 1 you need to identify the continent or ocean the voice indicates and show it on the map. Level 2 will assess your knowledge about continents and oceans position on the map, and Level 3 will test your spelling. When you are done, the game will create a report showing you the correct or wrong answers, score obtained, and the time it took you to complete the game.
The program's GUI is very simple, with plain colors and just a basic feature set. To the right of the map, depending on the game or section, there are controls to mute the sound or to select the game speed, but no more than that. On the bright side, this lightweight, free program can be used by teachers and school-age kids as it offers a fun way to learn.
