jayfromcleveland posted an interesting set of statistics on American children and their lack of geographical knowledge. I'm afraid the same can be said for most British kids. We recently were given a great geography website by a retired headmaster who attends our church here in the UK. He is very interested in, and supportive of, our homeschool endeavours. The site is all free, and it offers amazing games for geography of the USA and all regions of the world. Our children use it almost daily. If you want to improve your child's knowledge of US states, or capitals, or countries of the world, this is a good place to start.
