Good idea but never updated
Completely out of date. For example, it leaves off the names of several newer countries and been includes names like Kampuchea??? I mean really it must've been decades since this was updated. Absurd to be selling it in this form as an educational resource.

inaccurate
This is unfortunately full of outdated information. If you use it, it'll end up stuck in your kids' heads because music is indeed good for memory work. For example, for many years now Pluto has not been considered one of the planets orbiting our sun. Many other issues in the other songs. Should be updated or discontinued.

We've used this CD and maps all year as part of our world history/geography program We generally focus on one song and map per week (as scheduled in our curriculum) and it's been a favorite part of my children's morning My 7 9 and 11 year olds enjoy the songs and they have definitely helped them remember names and facts about countries I'm not sure they would retain as much listening to the CD as a whole but focusing on one song at a time and reviewing others throughout the year has worked well for us I copy the individual area maps for each child to color while we learn the names of countries and listen to the CD My dramatic oldest daughter loves the different accents and styles of music while my serious no-frills youngest son has developed a fascination with maps as a result of this daily exposure

I am not thrilled with this CD Much of the music sounds alike and can really get on your nerves It is full of great information on country locations but we will only listen to a song or two at a time pertaining to the geographic area we are studying I can't believe other people listen to it in the car and enjoy the music for any substantial length of time!

This has been one of the best additions to our curriculum this year My oldest three have picked up on the songs very quickly and sing them all day long I even wake up at night with the tunes going through my head!We are "galloping the globe" and studying Asia currently I too have learned about so many of the countries through the songs They are catchy easy to learn and stick with the kids My youngest (who is 3) now knows all the continents and oceans and many of the countries in Asia thanks to these songs Initially I wasn't sure about spending the $20 for it - but it is DEFINITELY worth every penny we spent I have been so pleased with the results I've seen with our kids!

When visiting the world exhibits at EPCOT in Disney World I casually asked the bored-looking Scandinavian guide if Hammerfest was the northern-most town in the world Her mouth fell open as she asked me how I knew that I knew that because my children and I listen to these fantastic (and very catchy) audio cds in the car all the time My kids sing the songs as they label their maps! I love it and so do they!

As a homeschool mom who must have missed geography as a child I have learned so much by listening to these catchy fun songs My kids are learning too!! Sometimes people will question our homeschooling choice but they are pleasantly surprised to hear our 4 yr old name all the countries of the former USSR This is a must for kids who are auditory learners!
Have a question? Ask owners.
Start typing and see existing answers.
Why did you choose this?
What is the file type on the CD?
This is just a regular audio CD.
What is the copyright date?
We show the copyright date as 2004.
How do I order an additional book only?
I'm sorry but we don't carry the books by themselves. You might check with the publsiher - Audio Memory.
What style of music are the songs on the CD? We prefer music that is classical and not in a rock or jazz style.
The music varies in styles, but all are catchy tunes. The songs do not go too fast, so the children are able to hear the pronunciations of the different countries. I believe you can find portions of some of these songs on you tube. My kids are still able to hear a country's name on the news and start up the song that goes with that region of the mentioned country! I think you will find yourself catching onto the songs as well :) I highly recommend this for a lifetime of geography knowledge!
Does each student need his own book?
It just depends on how you want to do it. I prefer that my two students have their own nooks and CD. (Each responsible for not losing them). Your students could take turns with just one book or study and listen together if you want to save money. My daughter likes having her own book and CD to keep with her other books. These cds are great!
We used the US version and loved it! Looking forward to studying world geography now with these catchy songs.
This is a wonderful way for children to learn their way around the world. The tunes are fun and catchy. My children LOVE them! The maps are helpful as well. You can both learn the songs/names and…
This was recommended by a friend to go with our world geography lessons. We enjoyed the US states songs and hope this will be helpful as well.
