I finally found a geography app that might — just might — give Stack the States a run for its money. This particular app is designed to teach kids global geography, and has a series of mini-games to engage the player in fun facts about our wonderful world. The demo version has all the info on Oceania while the full version includes the whole world (obviously!) A fantastic tool for home or school — why not download it today?

Kids love to explore and discover new things. Geo Challenge provides the opportunity to travel around the globe and discover interesting information about other countries. Kids can choose to play as a guest, or create a "passport" which will record their progress (up to three profiles can be created). There are five activities to earn passport stamps in and suitcase stickers are also awarded along the way.
Children can manipulate a spinning globe, put together a puzzle, flash some flag cards, identify countries on a map, and match flags to their countries. Areas of the world are broken down into North and South America, Asia, Oceania, Europe and Africa so kids can focus on one region at a time and are not overwhelmed.
As globalization becomes more of a reality with the internet and increased travel, awareness of neighboring countries, and even those further afield, is essential for our future leaders and business people. Please support Smart Apps For Android and use our download links when you acquire this app.
