GeoGames for the Promethean Board
I just found a great website to help teach geography skills. On this website there is one activity called GeoGames where the kids can play a game that relates to the globe and maps. During the game the students have the ability to choose between building planet earth and placing the correct countries and cities on the globe. While building planet earth the students can take the poles and drag them to the correct spots on the globe and then take the countries and drag them as well. The countries and cities work the same but they are a bit more challenging. I would recommend the countries and cities for the middle and high school students. The best part about this game is that it is timed and the students can have races to see who can place everything in the shortest amount of time. After you build your map you can print it out for the students to use at a later date or even so that they can refer back to later.
