Title: Geography

Summary:

This game is taken from Cam Jansen and the Catnapping Mystery by David A. Adler.  Cam and her friend, Eric, play this game as they walk around town with Cam's parents.  One player says the name of a place (country, state, city) and the next player has to pick the name of a place that starts with the last letter of the previous place.

Recommended Age: 8-10

What you will need:

• Nothing!
  

Instructions:

1. Take turns saying the name of a place.  The name of the next place has to start with the last letter of the previous place.  For example, if the player before you says "Seattle," you have to come up with a place that starts with the letter "e".
   
2. Some letters are more difficult to start with than others.  If you get stumped, look at a map or a globe for some suggestions.  It's a great way to learn about more geographical places.
