Identifying the continents and oceans of the world

This free lesson is a great way for students to learn the location of the world’s continents and oceans. It can be used as an introduction to the topic for younger students or simply to refresh older students’ core geographical knowledge.

First the presentation runs through the continents and oceans of the world. In the worksheet activity students then identify the world’s continents and oceans. This is differentiated four ways:

Easier – Students have initial letters, vocabulary and use an atlas/map prompt.
Medium – Students have vocabulary and use an atlas/map prompt.
Harder – Students solely use an atlas/map prompt (no vocabulary).
Hardest – Students identify continents and oceans with no vocabulary or atlas/map prompt.

Extension – Students use an atlas to work out which continents countries are in.
