We should all know our way around the world! But global locations can be hard to learn from worksheets. If your child prefers learning in a more visual and kinesthetic (doing) way, then using this board game will inject fun into learning coupled with effective information retrieval practice for improved memory recall.
Now endorsed by the ISEB, 'On The Map' will help your child learn the essential global locations required for Common Entrance and KS3 geography in a fun way. But exams aside, this is a fun way to make sure your child has some basic global knowledge.
The game uses questions specific to the syllabus, designed to help you visualise the world map and brush up your Geographical knowledge. You can also use the Question Cards for a Quick Fire Quiz - see who can answer the most in 60 seconds!
On The Map includes:
- continents
- key countries
- capitals
- mountain ranges
- rivers
- deserts as well as the Equator
- Prime Meridian and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Test yourself on the UK & Europe and then flip the game board over and take a trip around The Rest of the World. Two games for the price of one and the only Geographical game for the current CE syllabus that we know of.
Customers who bought On The Map also purchased:
Tectonic Plates, Volcanoes & Earthquakes, Weather & Climate, Rivers, Erosion & Flooding, Coastal Erosion.
United KingdomMy children, (Year 7 and Year 4) love playing this together. Older sibling will answer from memory. Very user friendly for the younger one with some answers written on the map. Still requires effort on her part to locate them. Very inclusive. Happy to recommend.
United KingdomWe’re enjoying this. Probably best for age 8+ Aids learning/testing of European and World geography in a fun way. Good quality (and no unnecessary packaging, which is great).
United KingdomWe have only had one play at the game so far, but I can see it will be an excellent learning tool. I look forward to learning lots from it myself too. I love that it suggests just short games - 20 mins, so the learning goes in. Excellent! I'm very happy I bought it and will look at buying some more educational games soon.
Thank you so much Amanda - we are so pleased you are enjoying On The Map!
United KingdomWe bought this game as an expansion to our 3 Oaka Science board games as we know how much our children (11yo autistic & 13yo dyslexic) have benefitted from playing them and this new geography game is accomplishing the same results, our son’s are learning while having fun and even more importantly they are retaining the information. I wholeheartedly 4recommend this game, like every other Oaka product,
Thank you so much Samantha! So pleased your boys are enjoying and benefiting from our products :-) They might also love our new map skills game, Geogo!
We love researching topics and create lots of boardgames, quiz style games, lapbooks and study units to facilitate individual learning paths. I received a well packaged delivery of Science Scramble Chemistry, Science Scramble Physics, Geography On the Map, a couple of KS3 topic books, and a Biology pairs game a few weeks ago and my goodness, do I wish I purchased this sooner. The boardgames are of excellent quality. Boards are sturdy with colourful graphics and lots of room for players to venture to different areas. This is a plus if you have students that are easily bored with monotonous play. Science Scramble Chemistry: As board game fanatics, we are very impressed with the quality of the content. Chemistry cards send players on unexpected paths around the board and have my son and his friends in fits of laughter. The merit points are a nice touch as collecting it is far more appealing than dotting down points on paper. The Question cards are comprehensive and Equipment cards and bite size definitions help dissect abstract concepts. Geography On the Map: A brilliant piece of kit. The board is reversable and covers continents, countries, capital cities, oceans etc. Generous amount of game pieces and the country point system is a huge hit. (They get more excited by claiming countries than playing electronic games, which is a huge plus in my book) We have yet to explore the Science Scramble Physics, which is also jam packed with content and highly visual. Topic Packs: We have an Oaka Digital Licence and have only just acquired some Topic packs. These are excellent value for money, and I cannot recommend them enough. Topic packs contain a mini game and game pieces with a good amount of question cards to reinforce key concepts. I find that the presentation greatly reduces stress and anxiety whether tackling a new topic or revising an old one. Oaka Books are developed to support Dyslexic learners but appeal to all types of learning styles. Thank you for creating an amazing product that speaks to the most valued customer, our children!
Thank you so much for your lovely review :-)
