Geography Bee Tips

Here are some tips for studying for the National Geographic Bee from someone with experience with success.
  1. Study year-round
  2. Use the outline maps that I have provided on the nation and state profiles to fill in with geographic features, major cities, national parks, etc.
  3. Actually write out what you learn
  4. Maps are not the only resource (there are entire books dedicated to geographic information)
  5. Don't forget physical geography (under the vocab category) or historical geography
  6. Studying the United States geography should be of primary importance. The  first rounds of nearly all levels of the Geography Bee focus on the United States
  7. Make Flashcards. I have a case full of flashcards for every nation. They include a picture of the nation's flag, languages, religions, government style, and other important information.
