World Geography Games is a free website which has a huge collection of geography games for kids and adults. Your kids can play the map games for kids to learn geography in an interactive manner. The best of all they will learn where the most countries are located on the world map, where different states are located in a country, and other similar stuff. The games are fun to play and you will be asked to locate different locations on a map. The question is displayed on the top-left and you have to click on any part of the map to locate the asked place. For each correct answer, a point is awarded and the score is displayed at the top-right. It also counts the number of attempts to guess the correct location. In addition to that, you can quit the game anytime and see the names of the places on the map. The only thing I didn’t like about its games is that you can skip a question if you don’t know its answer and you have to keep on guessing until you hit the right place on the map.

Here is a list of some map games that you can make your kid play:

  • Locate countries in a continent
  • Locate capitals of countries
  • Locate countries by viewing its flag
  • Locate oceans, rivers, deserts, mountains, etc. on a map.

Sheppard Software is another free website for kids to play map games online. The map games are related to locating capitals and countries on the map. What I really liked is the fact that it also provides a learning module for a game. Your kid can first go through the learning module and after that, he can test his geography knowledge by playing the map game. In a map game, your kid will be asked to locate the place on the map. If he gets it right then he will be awarded a score of 1 and if he gets wrong then he can try again. It also hints the place location after a wrong guess. You need to keep a close eye to see the hint. It also displays some information about the location when you select the correct one on the map. The interface of its map game is shown in the screenshot below. In some game levels, you have to enter the first three letters of the country name being highlighted on the map. You have to attempt all the answers in a game to complete it.

National Geographic:

You might already be familiar with National Geographic as it is one of the most popular infotainment channels. On its website, it provides an interactive map game called Adventure Island in which you have to spot different symbols on the map. Actually, you play as a guide “Kimo” and help your customers reach specific places on the map, like police stations, find trees, etc. The whole concept of the game is to make kids understand how to use a map and quickly infer places on the map from different symbols. The starting of the game itself describes how real-world objects are shown as symbols on the map. So, you play as Kimo and help your customers to go to specific parts on the map of the island. All you have to do is click on the right symbol where your customer wants to go. At the end, you get a tip to help them out. It is a very short game but comes with cool graphics that your kids will most probably like and it is also fun to play. Go to the link provided above and the game will automatically start. All the very best to guide your customers to the right places on the map :)

KidsGeo:

KidsGeo is another free website to play map games online for kids. It also consists of similar map games as in World Geography Games and Sheppard Software mentioned above i.e. locate different places on the world map. The only difference is that in its map games, you have to drag and drop a small map on an another map on its correct position. For example, in World Map Match Game, you will get a country map on the left which you have to drag and place it on to its correct position on the world map. Unfortunately, you can’t zoom into the map which makes pretty difficult to identify smaller countries on the world map. So, this makes it quite difficult to play.

Maps of India:
