This easy worksheet stretches second graders' geography sense across the whole globe. Part A sorts Europe, Africa, and South America into continents and Indian, Southern, and Pacific into oceans. Part B fills in blanks about a compass showing direction, the Pacific being the largest ocean, the Sahara desert in Africa, and how maps use colors for land and water.

Part C wraps up with true or false statements about Australia being both a continent and a country, the size of the Indian Ocean, and whether Antarctica is warm. Students walk away knowing why mapmakers pick certain colors and how the seven continents fit together.
