Continents Book- Map Activities- Color, Cut, and Paste- 7 Continents 5 Oceans

Use this interactive continents geography book for primary elementary students as they learn about the 7 continents and 5 oceans. This is a teacher-guided geography activity. For each continent studied, the teacher reads facts about the continent and instructs students on how to color in the continent map. Students also cut and paste pictures in their continents books that highlight famous landmarks, geographical features, and popular animals for each continent.

To prepare this activity, the teacher will need to make a copy of the continents book for each student and staple the books together. The teacher also needs to print a copy of the "Cut and Paste" pages for each student to guide students through the coloring, cutting, and pasting.

Optional slide shows are available here to accompany this Continents Book. Although not necessary to complete the book, the slide shows contain real-life photos for the facts that the teacher reads to the students. The slide shows also include directions that take students step-by-step through the completion of the Continents Book.

This Continents Book is intended to give young students a general overview of each continent. See below for highlights of countries, landmarks, and geographical features mentioned during the study of each continent.
