Abstract

An educational game and method for teaching geography, which includes a floor mat (12) having an illustration of a geographical area with a plurality of designated geographical locations (12A). A rotatable spinner arm (22) is mounted on a board (16) having an inner appendage circle (20) having appendage sections (20A) and an outer location ring (18) having geographical location sections (18A). The spinner arm (22) is rotatably mounted on the board (16) such that, when rotation ceases, it points to an appendage section (20A) and to a location section (18A). The location sections (18A) correspond to designated locations (12A) on the floor mat (12) and the appendage sections (20A) correspond to appendages of the player. In play of the game, the appendage corresponding to that selected by the spinner arm (22) is positioned on the designated location (12A) on the floor mat (12) corresponding to a geographical location (18A) selected by the spinner arm (22).
