Our Planet Earth · Learning goals
Earth is round and covered in land and water. Meet the seven continents, from hot Africa to icy Antarctica, and put each one on the world map.
Why it matters
Knowing the continents gives kids a mental map of the whole world.
Learning where places are helps kids connect with stories, animals and people from around the world.
