All About America

_All About America_ is an educational game that teaches children American
history and geography as well as the English language. It consists of two main
activities: history lessons and map reading skills. Both of these can be
played by one or two players.

_History lessons_ include 16 different stories about America’s past. These
can be played in any order and consists of two parts: one where the player
gets to read and watch pictures of the subject and one quiz part based on the
story. There are two question types: reading skills that tests what the player
remembers from the story and vocabulary building that tests how well the
player knows some of the words that appeared in the story. For both question
types the player has three alternatives to choose from.

When testing _map reading skills_ there are three map types to choose from:
the thirteen colonies, America before the civil war and the present United
States. Like in the history activity the player can choose to look and learn
or to do a quiz. For each map type there are different types of questions. For
colonies there are only questions about the name of the colonies while for the
civil war map there are both state names and postal codes and for present day
USA there are also quizzes for capitals and compass directions.
