"Integrated" geography

I made up that title all by myself. It's a nicer way of saying "throw things at the subject and hopes some of it sticks." We've tried multiple things for geography. We used the maps from The Story of the World, Activity Book  our first year, and Map Trek  our second year. I LOVE the Map Trek maps!  This year we are using Sonlight and it takes a different approach. Rather than doing detail work on a small, regional map it has him label places he reads about on a large world map. He enjoys none of this. To try to make it a bit more interesting I have taken to adding in some "fun" games. He does enjoy the phone app "Stack the Countries", and last night he played geography games at FreeRice.com. (If you haven't been to freerice you need to try it. You play educational quiz games and right answers earn food for hungry people.) And just for good measure he watched a segment of a Rick Steves' travel show on Venice. So there you go: "Integrated" Geography.
