World Map Cut and Paste the Continents to Make a Map | Geography Activity

Students enjoy learning the continents and oceans of the world with this hands-on map activity. In this world geography activity, kids cut out all the continents and piece them together to form a world map.

Clear directions are included with a unique numbered tab system to easily show how to connect continents. Students can create the map on a plain sheet of paper or on the map of the world provided with the continent borders drawn in as guidance. This is fantastic for world geography lessons and history.

Included are 4 printable options:

• colors and names preprinted on the continents
• colors but no names printed on the continents (students label)
• black and white with no names printed on the continents (students decorate continents)
• colors but no names printed on the continents (students label) and with faint outlines of the countries

 The only additional materials needed are: scissors, glue, and a sheet of paper. 

This is a terrific geography project for kids to learn the seven continent names and relative positions and five ocean names and locations. It's a simple introduction to world geography and would work well with any continent study, studies of biomes, habitats of the world, political maps, hands-on geography, a Montessori approach, and interactive notebooks for social studies. This is also great for teaching world geography for middle school, world oceans, the seven continents, and general maps of the world.

When complete, the entire world fits on an 8.5x11in sheet of paper.
