Continents and Oceans

Find all seven continents and five oceans on the world map.

Continents and Oceans is a first world geography game. The child looks at a world map with one continent highlighted and names it, or reads a continent name and taps a country inside it. Some maps come with a color key and some do not, so children practice both reading and remembering. Antarctica gets its own tap question.

The second half is about water. Round badges with letters sit on the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic Oceans, and children name them, tell where each lies, and answer which ocean is the largest or the smallest. A short fact follows every right answer, such as which continents an ocean lies between.

What children practice

Name the seven continents on a world map
Tap a country that belongs to a named continent
Name the five oceans from a lettered badge
Tell which ocean lies between or beside given continents
Say which continent a well known country is in
Compare ocean sizes, such as the largest and the smallest

Levels

Level 1: Seven continents
Level 2: Tap the continent
Level 3: Five oceans
Level 4: Where is the ocean?
Level 5: Which continent?
Level 6: Mixed review

How it works

Levels 1 and 2 are about continents, and levels 3 and 4 are about oceans.
Level 5 asks which continent a country is in, and level 6 mixes everything.
Countries that sit on two continents never count as a right or wrong tap, and the game gives a gentle hint instead.
Right answers bring a short fact, and the speaker button reads questions aloud.

Best for: A good fit for grades 2 to 6 as a first world map game, or as a review before a geography unit.

Tip for parents: Spin a globe or open a map app and ask your child which ocean you would cross to visit a faraway relative. Linking the names to a real trip makes them stick.

Questions parents ask

Why does tapping Russia or Turkey not count either way?

Countries that sit on two continents are drawn on the map but never marked right or wrong. The game shows a gentle hint to try another country, so a child is not marked wrong for a place with two answers.

Is the Southern Ocean included?

Yes. The game teaches five oceans, not four, and the Southern Ocean is the one around Antarctica. Children meet it on the world map alongside the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans.

How is this different from Ocean Explorer?

Continents and Oceans covers both and mostly asks children to name places. Ocean Explorer focuses on the oceans alone, with tap targets in open water and more facts about size, depth and where the Equator crosses.

Ready to try it?

Continents and Oceans is free with a parent account. A parent adds a child profile, and the child's progress is saved.
