About this resource

The Label the 7 Continents - Worksheet teaching resource is designed to help students learn to identify and label the Earth's continents on a map. This printable worksheet features a basic world map with the 7 continents outlined but not labelled. Students must write the name of each continent in the corresponding outlined area. An answer key is provided for teachers on a separate page. This engaging social studies resource allows educators to assess and reinforce students' knowledge of continent names and locations. It can be used individually or with small groups as a quick formative assessment, warm-up, or geography review. The clear map with outlined continents also makes this a good introductory activity for early elementary grades learning the continents for the first time.
