The Best Geography Games for Your Homeschool {Gameschooling}

Our family is game-obsessed. One of the biggest homeschooling perks for this game-obsessed family is that we don’t have to wait until the weekend rolls around to try to squeeze in a family game night. Instead, we can play games daily- multiple times daily if we feel like it! I whole-heartedly believe that games are educational. I frequently use games in our homeschool to increase understanding of concepts that we are working on.

Take your gameschooling to the next level with these fun geography games:

Games create the opportunity for hands-on fun. I find that my children retain more when we play our way through geography!

Let me highlight a few of our family’s current favorite geography games:

Battleship by Hasbro

One of the first ways children learn to read a map is by using the map’s grid. Can you think of a better- or more fun – way to reinforce learning grids and coordinates than by playing Battleship?

Scrambled States by Gamewright

Play this a few times and your children will have U.S. geography down! Based on Laurie Keller’s silly book, Scrambled States is an easy to learn game that your kids are sure to love.

Borderline by Borderline Games

Have you ever played Crazy 8s? If so, you’ll love Borderline. It is a similar, geography-themed card game for ages 8 and up. No previous geographical knowledge required!

Brain Box: The World by Mindware

Our family loves to play Brain Box during meals, at restaurants, and on long car rides. You can play it as directed, which involves a memory component, or you can modify it for younger players and just read the cards.

Geo Bingo World and Geo Bingo USA

These two games are part of our regular rotation over here. It’s amazing how much geography your children can pick up through play alone. My kids love both versions and have learned a lot!

Professor Noggin Geography of the United States

Our family loves these Professor Noggin cards. We have several different decks and we take them on vacation, to restaurants, in the car, and we even pull them out at dinner from time to time!

Apps

Be sure to check out Stack the States and Stack the Countries for some fun online learning!

Letterboxing and Geocaching

One really fun way to learn geography is to get involved in letterboxing or geocaching. Your kids will easily learn map and geography skills while having fun, and being active, in the great outdoors! Want to add more fun to the mix? Check out my post on a super-easy DIY Nature Explorer Pack!
