CONTINENTS TOUR

ZEBRAS live in Africa
LIONS and ELEPHANTS, too.
Australia is down under,
Home of the KANGAROO!

Clap your hands for Asia!
It's the largest one.
Antarctica is covered in ice.
The PENGUINS sure have fun!

North America is where I live.
It's where I work and play.
In Europe you'll find England,
Where the queen rules every day.

South America is home to Brazil.
It's the largest country there.
The world has seven continents,
And I've just named them with care!


THE CONTINENT SONG
(Take Me Out to the Ball Game)

Let's name all of the continents.
There are 7 on earth.
There's Europe and
Asia and Australia,
North and South America.
Now don't forget about Africa
And Antarctica, too.
For there's 1...2...3,4,5,6,7 continents!


CONTINENTS
(Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)

Asia, Africa, Antarctica
Australia, Europe, too
North America
South America
Seven continents for you!


CONTINENTS & OCEANS
(Tune: Love and Marriage)

North America, South America (clap)
Europe, Asia, and Africa,
Don't forget Antarctica,
Or way down under in Australia.
Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean
Indian, Arctic they're all oceans.
North Pole, South Pole, Equator
I know all about maps and globes.


SEVEN CONTINENTS
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

To learn the seven continents
Think of the letter A,
And when you're down to only one
An E will save the day.
There's Africa, Antarctica,
Australia, Asia, too;
The oceans run between them
With their waters deep and blue.
There are also two Americas--
North and South, you see.
Now we're coming to the end.
Europe starts with E!


CONTINENTS
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)

Continents, continents,
There are seven.
There are seven.
North America, South America,
Antarctica and Australia,
Asia and Africa,
And Europe too.
That's all seven,
That's all seven.


OCEANS
(Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

The earth is all covered with oceans.
The earth is all covered with seas.
The earth is all covered with oceans,
More water than land don't you see.

CHORUS

Water, water,
Water all over the world, the world.
Water, water,
There's water all over the world!
So salty and cold are the oceans.
So salty and cold are the seas.
So salty and cold are the oceans,
Too salty and too cold for me.

CHORUS

Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic,
And then there's the Indian, too.
These oceans almost cover our planet.
I named them now can you?

CHORUS


I CAN NAME ALL OF THE OCEANS
(Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

Oh, I can name all of the oceans.
Oh, I can name all of the seas.
Oh, I can name all of the oceans.
Now why not sing them with me?
Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Indian, too.
Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Indian, too.


CONTINENTS JINGLE
(Tune: Jingle Bells)

North America, South America,
Europe, and Asia,
Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. Hey!


EARTH IS THE NAME
(Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

Earth is the name of our planet.
It's shaped like a ball or a sphere.
It's covered with land and water.
A globe makes this picture quite clear.

Chorus

Seven continents, four oceans, on our planet, Earth...
Seven continents, four oceans, on our planet, Earth!

On Earth there are seven continents,
They're the largest masses of land.
Four large bodies of water are oceans.
In fact, there's more water than land!

Chorus


CONTINENTS, POLES, EQUATOR
(Tune: Are You Sleeping?)

 

North America     (Hold up left hand)
South America     (Touch left knee)
Europe     (Nose)
Asia     (Right hand)
Africa     (Middle- equator)
Australia     (Right knee)
Don't forget Antarctica     (Feet)
North Pole     (Top of head)
South Pole     (Touch feet)
Equator     (Hands around waist)
