The older Carmen Sandiego computer games are good for teaching geography and facts about different places, so is the Odyssey Atlasphere. I also highly recommend the Traveloguer Collection (video, don't know if they're on DVD) if you're more interested in getting an in-depth look into specific countries.

Here is my small contribution:

http://www.purposegames.com/geoquiz/usstates

It's an interactive game on the location of the different US states.


I would also add map reading and the different types of maps. You could study the different types of bodies of water, locations of oceans/seas/lakes. Weather and climate, latitude/longitude, coordinate system, distance, and elevation.
