How to Play the North America Map Game
I designed this game to grow with the student. You can choose from three different difficulty levels depending on your confidence with North American geography:
Level 1: Multiple Choice (Beginner) Perfect for introducing the continent. The game highlights a country on the map, and you choose the correct name from four possible options.
Level 2: The Map Click (Intermediate) The classic map challenge. I give you the name of a country, and you have to find it and click on it. Having trouble locating tiny Caribbean nations like Saint Lucia or Barbados? Don't worry—the game automatically drops a visual hint system of blue circles and zooms in to help you out!
Level 3: The Typist (Advanced) The ultimate test of mastery. The map highlights a country, and you must type the name correctly from memory.
