Why should I learn geography?

Many people often view the study of geography as a useless pursuit that is just a big waste of time. I mean, it’s just memorizing a bunch of random shapes and names on a map, right? Wrong! While there are a lot of people that don’t take the time to learn much about it, geography is actually super important. This is for several reasons.

Learning geography gives us an awareness of places and helps us assign meaning to the place. While this may not seem important, it is everything when it comes to researching the history and climate of the area. It also helps us understand how connected the world is between each other, and that we’re not nearly as separated as we might think.

What’s the fun in playing geography games?

Playing geography games can be a whole lot more fun than you would think. Challenging yourself against the clock is a competitive, fun, and educational time that you might find yourself enjoying quite a bit. We recommend that you start with the continent that you live in and know best, and then branch out to other parts of the world. The ultimate challenge is probably Africa, where there are 54 countries, although Asia will be difficult too, coming in at 48 countries. 

Are geography games difficult?

It depends on your knowledge of geography. There are options for players of any ability, and geography has many different aspects to it. For example, if you are from Europe, then Snappy Maps: Europe is probably going to be a lot easier for you than someone who has lived in America their whole life.

Along with this, there are different genres of geography games. One of the most popular geography games is Flags Maniac, a game that is based purely on your knowledge of flags. If you study flags routinely, then this game will be a breeze. However, casual flag followers will probably find this game difficult at first.

Will these games really help me learn geography?

These games will absolutely help you learn geography. You can in fact have fun and learn at the same time. Geographical education is all about one thing – repetition. As long as you are playing these geography games consistently, you will improve your skills over time.
