Hello everyone! Today, we’re going on an exciting journey to explore the continents of the world. Are you ready to join me? Let’s start by learning how many continents there are and what they’re called. Did you know that scientists sometimes find it tricky to agree on the number and names of the continents? But don’t worry, we’re going to use a map that shows six continents.
Our Earth is made up of big pieces of land called continents, and these are separated by large bodies of water called oceans. A continent is a large area of land that is different from others in both geography and culture.
There are six continents on our planet: Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, and Antarctica. These continents are surrounded by five oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.
The Americas are so big that they are divided into three parts: North America, Central America, and South America. Together, they make up almost 30% of all the land on Earth!
Asia is the largest continent and has the most people living on it. It is divided into different regions like North Asia, South Asia, East Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia.
Africa is the third largest continent. The name “Africa” comes from a Latin word that means “free of cold.”
Europe is sometimes called the “Old Continent” and is bordered by the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.
Oceania includes islands like Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, and many others like Polynesia. It is surrounded by the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Antarctica is a very cold place with no native people living there, but many scientists visit to study it. Almost all of Antarctica is covered in ice!
We have traveled the world! Did you know that the continents are different in size and the number of people living on them? From largest to smallest by size, they are Asia, the Americas, Africa, Antarctica, Europe, and Oceania. By population, they are Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and Antarctica.
Wasn’t that a fantastic trip? We learned so much about the six continents. Can you remember them all? Let’s see:
Great job! See you on our next adventure! Bye-bye, explorers!
We’ve learned so much in just one video! Imagine how much more you could learn by watching more videos. Keep exploring and having fun!
Continental Collage: Gather some old magazines, newspapers, or printouts. Cut out pictures of different landscapes, animals, and people. Create a collage for each continent using these pictures. Think about what makes each continent unique. For example, you might include kangaroos for Oceania or pyramids for Africa. Share your collage with your family or friends and explain why you chose each picture.
Map Your World: Use a blank world map and color each continent a different color. Label each continent and the surrounding oceans. Once you’re done, try to find one interesting fact about each continent and write it down next to it. For example, you could write “largest desert” next to Africa for the Sahara Desert.
Continental Cuisine: With the help of an adult, choose a simple recipe from a continent you learned about. It could be something like making sushi from Asia or tacos from the Americas. As you prepare the dish, talk about the continent it comes from and what makes its culture special. Enjoy your meal and think about how food connects us to different parts of the world!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello everyone! Today, I’d like to take you on a trip across the continents of the world. Come along with me! Do you know how many continents there are and what their names are? Did you know that scientists find it hard to define the number and names of the continents? They don’t have a clear answer yet. While they are making up their minds, we’re going to follow this map which shows six continents.
As you can see, the surface of the Earth consists of massive landmasses separated by oceans. A continent is an expanse of land that is geographically and culturally differentiated from other continents.
There are six continents on our planet: Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, and Antarctica. These six continents are separated by five oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.
Let’s have a closer look at each one of these continents.
**The Americas:** Due to its size, geographical features, and cultural characteristics, this continent is divided into North America, Central America, and South America. The Americas cover almost 30 percent of the Earth’s total land area.
**Asia:** Asia is the largest and most populated continent on Earth. It is divided into North Asia, South Asia, East Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia.
**Africa:** Africa is the third largest continent in the world after Asia and the Americas. The word “Africa” comes from Latin and means “free of cold.”
**Europe:** Europe is also known as the “Old Continent” and is bordered by the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.
**Oceania:** Oceania is made up of the islands of Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, and several archipelagos like Polynesia. Oceania is surrounded by the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
**Antarctica:** This continent has no indigenous population, but it is visited by many scientists from all over the world. Ninety-eight percent of its surface is covered by ice.
We have traveled the world! As you were able to observe, the continents from largest to smallest by size are Asia, the Americas, Africa, Antarctica, Europe, and Oceania. The continents from largest to smallest by population are Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and Antarctica.
It has been a sensational trip! We have learned so much about the six continents of the world. Can you remember all of them? Which is this continent? Europe! [Applause] How about this one? Africa! And this large continent? Asia! Which is this continent? The Americas! Would you be able to name this one? Oceania! One more to go— which continent is this one? Antarctica!
Way to go! See you on our next trip! Bye-bye, explorers!
