In ZoomKidz today we learned about the Continents and Oceans of the world! We talked about the 7 continents and the 5 oceans! We first asked the kids what the 7 continents were. After getting their answers, we continued to talk about specifically what each continent is known for. For instance, Australia is both a country and a continent, and South America has a really long river called the Amazon River! We then asked the kids to identify where each continent was on a map. After getting their answers, we viewed a correct map and talked about each continent. We then moved on to the 5 oceans! We talked about each one and why it was special, for instance the Pacific Ocean is the world's largest and deepest one, and the Arctic Ocean is the world's smallest and shallowest. We then showed them on a map where each ocean was located so they had an idea of where it was. After learning about the continents and oceans, we showed them two videos, one about the 7 continents, and one about 5 oceans. The two videos were shown to help them remember all of them through a catchy song! After viewing both, we then continued to play a 7 continents game. They had to identify where each continent was, helping them to remember more where they are and identify them in the future. Then we did a quiz where based on their answers it gives us of an answer of which continent they should live in! Overall, the lesson helped the kids understand the placement of the 7 continents and the 5 oceans and why they are so important!
