Let’s Label the Continents and Oceans!

The world is a big place and students need to become familiar with it! Make the task of identifying the Earth’s continents and oceans easy with this labeling worksheet. Students label the 7 continents and 5 oceans, and in doing so, enhance their knowledge of the world and create a colourful map of our planet!

This resource is the perfect independent learning activity to enhance knowledge of world geography. It would also be great to keep in an emergency relief teaching folder. It can be used with students in a variety of year levels and with varying ability levels.

No-Prep Geography Lessons
