i use a geography mini game on the Star Doll (girls fashion game) website. Its cool because you can choose what continent you would like to play so you can learn a certain section of the earth until you are ready to move on. It made it easier for me to remember and learn doing it that way. And you also win star points to buy clothes for your star doll!
