Very Spatial Games

So, the game I decided to play was a great game that had you place each individual state in its respective location on a United States map. The link to this game is: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/states_experiment_drag-drop_Intermed_State15s_500.html Before I discuss it, my personal stats on the game were as follows: I completed it in 422 seconds, had a 68% score and my average error was 92 miles. I was doing this game with a laptop cursor, so I don't feel all to bad for that score. I'm sure I would do much better had a taken a little more time to place the state a little better in most instances. Okay...About the game. The game is a really good design that allows you asks you to place the states on the US map in a random order. When a state is placed correctly, it gives you your stat immedietly and when you place it incorrectly, it shows you where the state belongs by highliting the area that it should be placed in. The one thing to remember is that this game does not have state boundries in any type of marking, so sometimes it is nessicary to take a ball park guess at first until you get a few major states in place for better reference. Because I had been to roughly 40 of the states, I had a very good knowledge of where most of them went, but then I also realized that the ones that I haven't been to posed the biggest problem for me. Go figure... All in all, I thing this is a great game worth using as a pedogogical tool for elementry to early middle school teachers. I really wish I would have had something this fun when I was going to school!
