Teachers- I so hope this message finds you well and enjoying the sunshine and time for rejuvenation! The thought of a warm beach has me thinking about some fun continents and oceans activities for students. This topic can be so fun for students to explore and I would love to leave you with some exciting ideas for the coming school year!
Continents Puzzle Map
 Provide students with a blank world map and pieces representing the continents. They have to correctly place each continent on the map, learning their shapes and relative positions. This continents and oceans activity can be cut out and colored for students to keep in their desks and practice with regularly!
Digital Continents and Oceans Practice
This resource contains continents and oceans activities for Google Classroom. There are maps and oceans to label, continents to identify, resource links, and more! This resource is so versatile and great to have on hand for teaching about continents and oceans.Â
Continent Research Projects
 Assign each student a continent to research. They can create presentations or posters highlighting key geographical features, climate, culture, wildlife, and other important elements. This is a continents and oceans activity that can be done individually, in partners, or even in groups, making it so good!
Continent Trading Cards
 Have students design trading cards featuring different continents. Each card can include information like population, land area, major landmarks, and cultural facts. They can then trade cards to learn about other continents. This is a great continents and oceans activity to keep on hand for students to review and practice at any given moment!
Continents and Oceans Mini Book
This continents and oceans activity bundle includes a mini book project for students to assemble! Students will review, color, cut, and put together a continents and oceans mini book to keep and review. This is such a fun activity for students to feel crafty and have something to hold on to for review!
Continent Bingo
 Create bingo cards with the names of different continents or even their outlines. Call out facts or descriptions related to each continent, and students mark the corresponding continent on their cards. This fun continents and oceans activity can be used again and again!
Continent Cuisine Showcase
 Organize a continent cuisine showcase where students research and prepare recipes for traditional dishes in various continents. They can present their dishes to the class, explaining the cultural significance and ingredients used in each recipe and then you can compile a class cookbook!
This packet contains different map worksheets for students to color, label, and practice with the continents and oceans. There are different kinds of maps and even the opportunity to work with longitude and latitude making this packet packed full of great options for continents and oceans activities!
Ocean Research Project
Similar to the continents research project, allow students to choose an ocean to focus on. Ask them to research various marine life, history, and facts about the ocean and then present them to the class. A great way for students to learn from one another!
Continents Coloring and Labeling Pages
This packet is the very same one that contains the mini book, but is also packed with printable maps for students to label and color! These resources require little to no prep and are so great to have on hand.
From labeling maps to trading cards and everything in between, the key to successful learning is in the fun and exciting activities, and in this case, the fun and exciting continents and oceans activities! It is always handy to enter a new school year with some fresh ideas on hand and I hope this has given you something to refer back to!Â
