![]() My oldest child used this app last year to prepare for the National Geography Bee and it was an invaluable tool. I am not going to lie, this is a challenging app. 4. GeoBee Challenge HD by National Geographic I wish they had this ages ago! All of my kids had fun with this app, and enjoyed competing to see who could complete the most states. The app even pronounces the name of each state as you touch it. However, if the state is in the wrong place, it falls off the map! Easy for younger kids and can be challenging for older ones when you remove the state boundaries (level 2). ![]() Players grab each state and drag them to their proper location on the United States map. I call this the technology version of the wooden puzzle. Start with the free version to make sure the kids enjoy it before investing in the program, as kids need to be able to read to use this app. There are six different games, puzzle maps, flag games, flashcards, and even World Heritage Sites across the world. This game allows kids at different learning levels to enjoy the same app. My kids were hooked, and I think this game will be one they ask to play for a long time. The kids are given riddles and clues about states, capitals, and famous landmarks as they make their way through the game. As kids complete an individual game, they earn “Statehoods” and the goal is to collect all 50 states. My youngest son (age 7) needed help with some of the questions: “I am the state located west of Ohio”, but others were much easier, “My abbreviation is FL” and the only choice that fit was Florida. There are three levels to choose from, Easy, Medium, and Hard. The game is actually two games in one, a Bingo game and a road trip trivia game. I am not a fan of spending money for apps, but this one seemed to have a lot of positive reviews, and since many of the other games I downloaded are free, I decided to take a chance. I just love the cute little car, Pep, and the colorful animation! ![]()
