5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Introduction to world geography for lower elementary aged kids.,

This review is from: DK My First Amazing World Explorer 2.1 (CD-ROM)
My girls ages 4, 7, & 9 all loved this game. I bought it at the beginning of summer vacation last year. They played it all summer long and still love it.
For my younger two it was a great way to introduce world geography. The central feature to the game is an interactive world map. When you click on icons on the map they do something silly & memorable. For example the Eiffle tower in France dances to the Can-Can. After the silly graphic, a pop-up screen gives factual information or a short video about that place or animal that lives there. My younger two explored the map until they were proficient in finding all their favorite icons. Next they played the main game which is like a big scavenger hunt. You are given clues and have to find the place & icon on the map. The CD also features smaller games that teach various map skills. For my oldest it was a fun review and reinforcement of her geography skills. She especially liked the postcard feature. At numerous places on the map my children found "postcards". They could address them to each other and type in a short message. The postcards could be sent to anyone on that computer who plays the game. For them it was like email without the internet. Also a great way to practice typing for my oldest. **We installed & used the game on Windows Vista without any problems.

We have XP and can't get it to work. This is the third piece of software that I have bought that says it will work on all those systems and it doesn't.

I bought this computer game for my little girl and she has really enjoyed it. It has fun games, short informative videos, and lots of geography facts. I recommend it very highly. My little girl cannot read, and so I do have to help her some with the game.
