Geography Game to play with your students! Use Google Street View and make a guess to play. Where might you find a dry dusty coastal area where you look out to sea facing east? Where might you find thatched roof cottages, cars driving on the left and a coastline? Critical thinking skills will help you win.  http://geoguessr.com/

 More fun - create your own GeoGuessr Game here http://geosettr.com/ by setting the street view scenes you want your players to guess. Create your own challenges with time settings, and share with friends. See who comes out on top!
