Guess The Flag is a very cool educational game in which you have to…..guess the flags! The game is based on Google Maps and the goal is try to guess as much countries with the flag that is showing. For every right answer you get one point, and I have to say it’s pretty hard to get a lot of countries right.
Ok, the big countries are not that hard, but there are many countries where you probably don’t know the existence of. It makes for an interesting game and playing it with friends can culminate in a big battle. You learn on the way, what makes it a great educational game. Not as educational as the games on the Nobel Prize site, but hey, it is still very educational.
As a teacher myself, I am fond of games with an educational character. They can be hard to find however, as the commercial value of most educational games is not that high. I use the games I find to teach the kids in my class in a fun way. They are in the age of 7-12 and especially this age really likes to learn in general, as long as you teach the right way. You can imagine that teaching with the help of games is a great way. The kids love the competitive element and learning goes without any effort. With the guess the flag game there were kids that even wanted to continue playing in their break!
You can play the flag game in many different languages from French to Chinese to Arabic. Try it, this can’t be a bad addiction right?
