Getting kids interested in geography is about as easy as getting them interested in broccoli. But just as you can disguise broccoli with loads of melted cheese, you can introduce your children to geography by disguising it as a game.

The following games will introduce children to topography, charting distances, and basic mapmaking skills. The games are fun and easy to play, and are appropriate for all ages. Your children won't even know they're learning. Best of all, even if they do find out they've been tricked into learning, they probably won't mind.
