JudoMom Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm thinking of purchasing these 2 CDs (Audio Memory's States & Capitals and Geography Songs). Does anyone have them? Are they worth the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they worth the money? I don't have an opinion on these as I don't own them, but you can listen to samples here: http://www.singnlearn.org/khxc/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=136 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 We have the world geography one. My kids like it. :) They go around singing "Egypt, Libia, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco. These are the countries of northern Africa...." :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I have the geography songs one. My dd listened to the first song, and I guess it wasn't her cup of tea (*I* thought it was cute!). I quizzed her on a few things and I'm ok with her knowledge of geography right now. So, if you'd like one that's barely used (no writing--still has the map) shoot me an e-mail.

In The Great White North Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 We haven't tried those, but did like this for the states: and will probably use this for the countries: They're free and you can download the maps from enchanted learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 but I will say that I think they did it backwards. They sing the capital and then the state. (Austin, Texas for example) It still takes my girls a couple of seconds to process backwards to get the capital if you just say the state. If you say the capital, they can tell you the state no problem. They enjoy the tunes and have memorized them. We still review it on rare occasions in the car. One nice feature is the outside boundry states are sung in their physical order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We liked them! We still pull them out occasionally for review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHisGrip Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My ds, 11, rolls his eyes whenever I put them on in the car (he thinks he's too cool; however, he learns the songs very quickly and I catch him singing along sometimes - of course, I never let him know this!!!). My dds, 7 & 4, love it. The 4 yr old embarrased me a little in Target one day as she sang the continents and oceans song over and over and over again....:tongue_smilie: I'm not very consistent with it - we've had it two years and have only learned three songs. To keep them actually liking the CD, I decided to just focus on one or two songs at a time and then add on as they learn, rather than play the whole CD (plus I would probably go crazy if I had to listen to the whole thing at one time). If your child likes to sing and talk a lot, try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have the geography songs cd that I've been using with my 6yo & 5yo. The 6yo really likes it and they dance around to the music. The 6yo has memorized a few of the songs, but she'd probably have gotten more if I were more consistent with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto4greatkids Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My son (6) listens to a homeade States and Capitols CD--I'm always amazed how quickly they pick this up!! Without any effort from me, he knows them. Why don't I do this more often...(scripture, timelines, etc. ) They are sponges!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSDCY Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We have the geography one. We used it two years ago with SL2, ds enjoyed it a lot and had learned all those countries by heart effortlessly. Worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha2U Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm thinking of purchasing these 2 CDs (Audio Memory's States & Capitals and Geography Songs). Does anyone have them? Are they worth the money? My 4.5yr old ds actually requests to listen to the States & Capitals Songs CD and attempts to sing along... he likes the Geography songs as well. Both come with poster-size maps and the Geography Songs CD comes with a workbook. I think they are worth the money. That said and although you may not have asked, my ds doesn't particularly care for their Math CDs for memory work (addition, subtraction, and multiplication songs), so I'm considering selling them. I mention this because I was fearful that he'd feel the same way about the the States & Capitals and Geography Songs after I'd already purchased them, but apparently not. Another option could be the Elementary State Facts Geography Book & CD from Logos Press which are geared towards 3rd graders & up. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
