50 State Geography Games & Review



We'll started working on the geography of the 50 states in class. Use these sites to help you study. You must correctly identify all 50 States on an outline map by May 13.






An easier game and a good place to start if you don't know your states well:

A fairly tough game where you need to type in the names of all 50 states while looking at an outline map:

Challenging game using a satellite map that you drag the outline of the states onto:

History Channel site about all the states. Lots of info and hunt around for some fun and challenging games.

If you’re not at school, you can play the computer based geo game (that you remember from last year) online at:

Good luck!
