8 FREE Activities to Teach Your Children the Continents

This post may contain affiliate links.

So remember when I said that learning the continents is a basic skill every child should know? So I found five free activities that will make learning the continents super simple and fun. Also these are multi-age activities so all your children will be able to join the fun.

Activity Goals:

Name all 7 continents
Identify the continent you live on
Locate the continents on a map by memory

I like these coloring pages that allow children to color and trace the name of the continents.

Before I begin any activity or lesson, I always introduce the concept through a book, video, or question. This helps my children become more engaged and excited to learn later.

Here are a few books to help introduce the continents to your children.

After reading a book, use a globe to locate the continents. We have 2 globes in our home, I really like this globe below.

Now for the fun part. Choose a few activities to complete with your children. Remember when learning you should always go back and review to make sure yor children retain the information.

My Continents and Oceans preschool unit not only teaches the 7 continents, but also includes sight words, numbers, and more! It has over 30 pages of fun!
