I came across some interesting links today

The Geograghy one, It's a bit dated but I don't see why our children shouldn't remember all the countries after playing this a couple of times. My 6yo adored this one.

OMG that first one's crazy! And Australia is second last LOL, followed by Sudan hehe

Thanks for both. :joy

Perhaps this could be moved into our resources section, MF?

Gosh, I remember that being on telly, makes me feel old. Perhaps we could make up a new one with the current countries.

I didn't even know that TMBG did educational music! (been out of the music loop a while). I used to love em. :hamster

Our fave CD here is Musiplication http://www.zooglobble.com/archives/2008/10/review_in_brief_musiplication_kat_v.html I think it's funky.

Now I lie in wait for our broadband speed to go back normal..... :waiting
