Where Is That Country? Geography Software



English is a wonderful tool for meeting people from abroad. Free geography software can help us learn what other countries look like (shape, size) and who their neighbors are.

Owl and Mouse Educational Software provide several such programs. They are easy to use and lots of fun. You can either play online or download the programs to play on your own computer. I prefer to download the software because sometimes the internet is down or it is very slow. If you put the software on a USB drive, you can play anywhere, even on a public computer.

Please download these 3 puzzles: Central America, the Middle East and Europe.
Play by yourself or (even better) play with your friends. Have fun!

There are several small countries here. Some of them are very special. Find out why.




Over 20,000 people have been killed in Syria in only one year. Who is fighting? Why are they fighting? Click here to learn more about the Syrian civil war.


These are rich countries that have changed the world in many ways. How much do you know about Europe?
