Here is a great resource for sharpening kids’ geography skills and for sparking fresh interest in our world’s fascinating people and places.

Over five million students compete in the annual National Geographic Bee, a cornerstone of the National Geographic Society’s ongoing efforts to foster geography education.

Created in response to growing interest in the event, this official paperback study guide helps prepare students to compete successfully in the contest. But its value goes far beyond that — this unique tool makes geography fun for ALL young people! Featuring maps, photos, graphs, a variety of questions actually used in past Bees, plus an extensive resource section, the guide not only reviews geographic facts but also helps kids recognize themes, identify relationships, and understand how geographers think and view their world.
