HTGYG Show #129: Ticket to Ride, Table Top and Geography Lessons!




How To Grow Your Geek: Parenting and More! show

Summary: This week, I talk about Geography, and fun ways for you kids to brush up on their lessons while having fun this summer! I mention great board games like Ticket to Ride, (which I also point out is on my new favorite game show Table Top, hosted by Wil Wheaton on Felicia Day’s new Youtube channel Geek & Sundry), Pandemic and the great classic video game Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Want to use Zombies to teach geography? Check out this Kickstarter to create a curriculum for middle school kids that does just that! I think I might just back this one too! We also have a voicemail about sleep-away camps from Gary, and a BIG shoutout to Paul, our listener in Malta – use your geography skills and find it on a world map! Please email me with your own comments at howtogrowyourgeek-at-gmail-dot-com, or call my voicemail number at (678) 235-GROW (4769) and leave your thoughts. And last but not least, you can follow me on Twitter at SusietheGeek or the show at HowToGrowGeek, or on Goodreads as SusietheGeek!
