Google Earth activities for kids?

My 5-year-old has recently discovered Google Earth. How can I turn this into something at least somewhat educational?

It's much better he spend his time on GE than with mindless games, so it's not a bad thing for him to do per se. But just mindlessly clicking on different Street Views isn't really tecaching him anything, and it feels like this could be turned into something with more value.

Are there any sites that try to teach kids things to do with Google Earth? He's barely started reading so it would need to be very basic; I've seen some sites with GE activities but aimed more at teens and young adults, but I need to go younger. Any ideas?
