Do you know your states?
I found this link and placed it on another forum some time back when I had a "Some Other Brand" camper. This is a good little game to see how well you really know your states!
Go ahead and try it!

On edit when I tried it I got 90% but then I have an un-fair advantage! It isn't as easy as it looks!

This is a fun game. A lot depends on which states come up first since it is very senstive. I found it a while back and kept trying to get 100% - I finally did after I figured out I could scroll down with my mouse after I clicked on the state. I have my screen large so I can see it!! If you have a smaller resolution, you can see the whole map. We should have all students play it since they love computer games! LOL
Happy trails.........................

Here's another one, but this one you put the names to the states by dragging the state name over to the shape of the state: http://www.pibmug.com/files/map_test.swf Looks like they forgot about Alaska and Hawaii, though!

Just got throught trying the second game and got 46 of 48. The game kept telling me that I miss placed ME and SD. OOPS!! Something wrong with the game. On the first try to place OR it told me that was wrong but later gave it to me. But still nice test. It also helps that I not only love geography, but am a history buff.

I noticed that, too! I know where Utah is, but it kept giving me a red X, then a minute later, it said I was correct. Also, why doesn't the upper part of Michigan light up when you place the name in the state? Are the game makers discriminating against Yoopers as well as Alaskans and Hawaiians?

Steve,
Keep playing. The order of the states are different each time you play. I've gotten 100% several times but it is almost always when the first dozen or so are states on the borders.
Happy Trails.........................
