My Geography

The object of geography is to match the state or capital name to its location on the map. You will drag and drop the state or capital name from the list to its location on the map. Once you have placed all the names on the map, you will receive a message indicating that you have successfully positioned all the names or a message indicating how many are incorrectly positioned.

How to Play a Game

Each new game starts with all the state or capital names in a scrollable list. Click on a selected name and drag it to where it belongs on the map. Once you are pointing to the desired state, release the name. If you were pointing to a state that did not have a name already attached, the name will attach to the selected state. Otherwise, the name will return to the list.

The Current Status and Highlight Incorrect buttons can be used to help when you get stuck.
