All this montessori talk about making maps has inspired me and I thought I’d share some the tunes that I’ve found.

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.
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.
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
