I've found the "Name as many countries as you can in five minutes" immensely satisfying and worthy of another mention. Since my first attempt of 69 countries, I have incrementally improved with 85, 92, and finally 101. My dad, who reads maps at night, got 90 on his first try. Impressive! After the quiz you are able to see how often each country is correctly identified, which provides a fascinating glimpse into where people focus their attention. This may be a fun tool to use in the classroom, although I'm not sure if the five minute time limit is helpful other than to create a bit of competition.
If you haven't already, go check it out and see how you do. Leave your score in comments (anonymously if you aren't happy with your results!). It only takes five minutes!
