You ever look at a globe or world map?

We also have a geography bee every year right before winter break. Two years ago the kids were so bad at it that we had over an hour to kill before the end of the day with the time we had set aside for the bee. So to fill it, we had some teachers come up and compete using the remaining questions. The questions come from the national geography bee and get harder as you go. I won the teacher geography bee....I teach science and I beat 3 social studies teachers. Have always loved reading maps and globes.

I wonder why the kids get disinterested. Like you, I loved geography.

Sometimes when I'm stuck waiting somewhere and it is boring, I'll try and name off as many country names in my mind as I can. My record is 150. Someday I'll be able to name all 195 just off my head.
