Continents of the World – song, dance and animation!
Category : Celebrate Learning in the classroom
I made this video after realising how hard it was for my 5th grade students to quickly grasp where each continent was on a map. This is a great tool to help students remember not just where continents are, but what they look like, with native music and animals thrown in for a bit of fun!

Actions and lyric video:
1 freeze your bum off with the penguins in Antarctica
2 kangaroos hop ‘round the island of Australia
3 hang from a tree like sloths in South America
4 eagles soar high above North America
5 stretch out wide like pandas across Asia
6 running quick like Europe’s rein-de-ya
7 stomp the rhythm of the rhinos down in Africa
Now you know the continents so sing it loud and clear!
