Continents Worksheets: Printable Writing Booklet + Picture Dictionary

Learning the 7 continents is a classic early geography skill—and this continents worksheets set makes it fun with a simple printable writing booklet and a matching picture dictionary. Kids can trace, write, and illustrate vocabulary as they practice naming and remembering the continents. Two writing line options are included (primary lines and plain lines), so it works well for Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade learners in your homeschool or the classroom.

Writing booklets – my children love them!  I have published many mini booklet styles over the years – coloring pages, writing booklets, math facts, and more.  Writing in a mini booklet is a nice change of pace!

If your children are learning about the continents this school year, this would be a great complement to your studies.

Geography is a very common thread that runs throughout our homeschool.  It’s infused in everything from history to science to Latin and even etymology when learning spelling words.

Knowing about the world around us is important, so I start gentle geography early with my kiddos.  This mini writing booklet is a unique way to reinforce memorizing the seven continents.

Ways to Use These Continents Printables

There are several ways you can use these continents worksheets in your homeschool and I have listed several ideas to get you started!

• Have a ‘Continent of the Week’ and focus on just one continent at the time. Use the writing booklet as a notebooking page of sorts, using the Picture Dictionary to help with spelling and vocabulary.
  
  After reading about the week’s continent (book suggestions follow this section), have your child write what he learned in the booklet.
• Plan for a small unit study where to study one continent per day. This can be part of your Bible Plus 1 time, your Morning Basket, or take the place of your History time for the week.
  
  These writing booklets can serve as the composition portion of your unit study.
• Have you studied the 7 continents in the past? Use this booklet as a review. Assign 1-2 continents each day and have your child record what he remembers about each one.
• The Picture Dictionary is the perfect opportunity to talk about grammar and spelling. Remind your children that these continents are Proper Nouns, so they require a capital letter. Go over tricky spellings such as ‘Antarctica’ and ‘Europe’. Review the schwa sound at the beginning and end of ‘America.’
