Continents & World Regions
📋 What it is
Earth’s land is grouped into 7 continents, and each splits into regions with shared features and neighbours.
🗣️ Coach says
Start big, then zoom in. First find the continent, then the region inside it. Knowing the 7 continents gives you a mental filing cabinet — every country, animal and climate you learn slots into one of the drawers.

Zoom out to the continent, then zoom in to the region. 7 big drawers.

✅ Quick check: Why is naming the CONTINENT a smart first step before locating a country?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
The continent narrows the whole world down to one region, so you can reason about its likely climate, neighbours and features before you even find the exact spot.
Working continent → region → country is the core "zoom in" skill of geography.
