A world map with the seven continents shaded and twelve empty boxes: one on each continent and one in each ocean. Children write the names from the word bank, and page two is the answer key. Europe and Asia are drawn as two continents divided at the Ural Mountains, the way most US textbooks teach it.

It is the paper version of the continents and oceans quiz. Once the continents feel easy, move on to the blank world map printable.

Tips for using it

  • Sing or chant the seven continents first, then point to each one before writing.
  • Use blue for the oceans and a different color for each continent.
