A map of the world

Originally uploaded by Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the BPL

Think you know about the world? Know your countries, capitals and landmarks? Have a go at this game on our wiki – but be warned, it’s hard!

Have a close look at this map – especially where Australia is. This map was made in 1725, well before Captain James Cook journeyed up the east coast. But you can see that about half of the continent had already been mapped by this time.

 Our poll showed that games are high on our readers’ list of things they want to see on our blog. Ask and you will receive: Click here to play! . This challenge is fun! Use the equipment given to make the ball land in the cup. And no cheating (not mentioning any names, Jarrod!)

More games can be found on our blogroll to the right and on our Learning Links page. Enjoy! Please post a comment to tell us what you think of these games, and to recommend any other child and education-friendly sites.
