This app helps kids to learn the USA in a fun and interactive game. They learn everything from the capitals of the states to landmarks and key historic events. This app would be great when teaching USA geography as they can test their knowledge and learn new things beyond what you as the teacher or parent have time to teach them.

This is a great app to use when you are teaching world geography. It is a fun and interactive way that students can practice on their own the skills they they need to be able to label all of the different countries. There are even flashcards for the different countries and interactive and colorful maps to look at before playing the games. This would be great in the classroom or a resource for the children when at home.

This app gives children the opportunity to play games and learn facts of American history. The games and facts depict what it was like to be alive during the Early American times, the Colonial Period, the American Revolution, life on the Frontier and during the Gold Rush. This would be a great app for children to play during the studies of American history and would also be something fun that the kids could play at home.
