Teach your students about the continents and countries of the world with this detailed map.

Explore the World Without Leaving the Classroom!

Are you venturing on an adventure into World Geography with your students? Well, they will need to become familiar with the world’s continents and countries!

This world map enables your students to become more familiar with the seven continents and approximately 195 countries that comprise our great planet. The map comes in two download options to best suit your teaching and learning needs! The options include:

  • colour map with lines of latitude and longitude
  • colour map without lines of latitude and longitude.

Multiple Uses for These Maps of the World

These maps of the world with labeled countries make a great asset to your Geography lessons and can be used in a multitude of ways in your classroom. Here are some suggestions:

Explore the location of the world’s countries as a whole-class activity

This map of the world is the kind of resource that any teacher of world geography needs to access on a frequent basis! Project the map onto your interactive whiteboard for a paperless lesson or class review session. Have students take turns coming to the board to point out specific continents and countries of interest.

Create a classroom display

Make this colour world map the central feature of a classroom display displaying key information about the continents and countries of the world. Have students write fact cards, then use string or wool to link each fact card to the corresponding position on the world map. Instant bulletin board!

Explore location using lines of latitude and longitude

Are your students ready for an additional challenge? Project the map with the lines of latitude and longitude onto your whiteboard, then ask your students to name the continents or countries that are located along a particular line.

    This map would be great with lines of latitude and longitude added for a Year 6 class :-)

    I love the Teach Starter resources, especially as I am in the process of starting a school and have left all my resources at my previous school. So, thanks for putting all of these together. I would love to see this world map aligned so the equator is actually in the centre. That way children would have more of an understanding of the size of various land masses and oceans. cheers

      Hi Louise, thank you for your suggestion. We have added the equator line. Feel free to download the new version now. Kind regards, Scott
