This Friday, we're serving up five of our favorite geographic videos for your viewing pleasure. We’ve managed to compile a diverse list that runs the gambit from slightly silly to ambitiously educational. Enjoy!

1. Geography Promo Video #1: A group of students from the Czech Republic explain why “We Love Geography.”

 

2. Geography Promo Video #2: The Royal Geographical Society and the Institute of British   Geographers present: “Going Places with Geography Part 1: Progression and Careers with Geography.”

 

3. This Fed Ex Commercial may seem purely comedic, but it in fact highlights a serious problem: Nearly 1 in 3 young Americans can’t find China, one of the world’s fastest growing economic powerhouses, on a map of the world (National Geographic Roper 2006). How embarrassing!

4. Blast from the Past #1: Carmen Sandiego’s “Rockapella” sings the theme song from the hit television series. “Where in the world is____ ____?”

5. Blast from the Past #2: The Animaniacs’ Yakko sings a song naming all the countries of the world. Pretty impressive!
