Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up continents with countries — kindergartners often call places like France or Mexico continents because they hear the names more often in conversation than the broader continent names.
• Confusing the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans because the names sound alike, leading children to point to the wrong ocean even when they remember there are five total.
• Forgetting Antarctica counts as a continent since it looks different from the others on a map and is often shown only as a white strip at the bottom.
