Continents Continents Do You Know Your Continents Lyrics

DO YOUR MONTESSORI CHILDREN Dearest SINGING "THE CONTINENTS SONG" AS MUCH AS MY GROUPS DO? Here are x fun extensions for creating learning experiences through Music and The Arts.

PREPARE THE CHILDREN

Fortunately, there are lots of materials in the Montessori educational activity that lay a foundation for learning about the continents of the globe through hands-on experiences with Manipulatives.

There is the sandpaper land & water world, the color-coded continent earth, and and then the colour-coded "Continents Map."

Even if you don't have access to all of the Montessori Cultural Studies Materials, you tin yet offer children a Earth and Visuals of a World Map.

REINFORCE THE NAMES OF THE CONTINENTS

WITH A Vocal

After the children have had lots of hands-on experiences with globes and puzzle maps, you tin can teach them "The Continents Vocal," while you point to each continent when its proper name comes upwardly in the song.

There are lots of versions of "The Continents Vocal" that you will hear in Montessori classrooms all over the world.

My groups have 2 favorites: one that is brusk and i that is long!

1. "The Continents Song"

Short VERSION

I always introduce the short version to the children first. You lot tin listen to my short version of the song at my Youtube channel HERE.

Eventually, you tin can introduce the children to the longer version, which is more repetitive and very fun rhythmically!

2. "The Continents Song"

LONG VERSION

Hither'south the YouTube video I created for the longer version of "The Continents Song."

PROVIDE EXTENSIONS FOR GROUP AND

INDIVIDUALIZED ACTIVITIES

In that location are lots of fun musical extensions to reinforce the names of the continents of the world.

1 activeness is to clap the rhythm of each of the names of the continents.

In Lesson #11 of my Musically Montessori eCourse, "Allow'south All Sing: 15-Solar day Claiming," you will exist able to download a set of rhythm annotation and recitation cards for each of the Continents.

three. Clapping the Rhythm of the

Names of the Continents

In that Lesson #eleven from my Let'south All Sing eCourse, you'll find lots of ideas for extensions along with downloadable Printables to bring the Lesson to the children through many of the areas of the Preschool curriculum, including:

1. Visuals of the Continents Map and Musical Annotation Cards

4. Greet children in the Language of the

Featured Country of Each Continent

our Cultural Studies of Africa

5. Provide Activities for Movement

on the Montessori Line

Give children baskets to behave, trays of tea cups, or flags for marching that reflect the lives of the people of your featured land or continent in your Cultural Studies Curriculum.

6. Prepare the Pattern on your Calendar Inserts

that are the Cut-outs of the seven Continents

I traced each continent from the Montessori Continents Puzzle Map, on color-coded paper, and and so fabricated calendar inserts, enough to create the pattern for the days of the month in which I beginning introduced "The Continents Song." Y'all tin can sing the Short Version of the Song each morning time so that the children can predict what comes adjacent in the blueprint.

7. Teach the Children Traditional Dances

from the Country or Continent beingness Featured.

Providing long ribbons for children to trip the light fantastic the Chinese Ribbon Dance is a fun way to celebrate the continent of Asia. Put on some lively traditional music of China and invite the children to dance!

8. Create Stories for Dramatizing the Daily Activities of the People from the Country Being Featured

This is a pic of children walking on a balance beam in our Drama Play Story of the "Alligator in the River" during our Cultural Studies of Africa. You tin can create stories for children to dramatize with Movement Activities, props, child-made stick puppets, masks, or with rhythm instruments that feature the land of written report.

You tin can see how I've created these stories for my groups in my Blog Articles:

ix. Create "Sandpaper Continents" for Each

of the Continents of the World

As y'all introduce each of the continents in more depth over the months, you lot tin prepare a fun station for creating "Sandpaper Continent" cards. My groups have always greatly enjoyed this activity!

1. Provide a tray with pieces of cardboard, a pencil, glue stick, and colored sand in a shaker bottle. The sand is color-coded for each continent.
2. The child chooses the continent to work with, then fetches that puzzle piece from the Montessori Continents Map.
3. Side by side, the child traces the shape of the continent on a piece of cardboard.
4. And then, southward/he fills in the tracing with glue.
5. Now it is time to shake the sand onto the mucilage-filled shape.
6. Subsequently, the child has filled in the shape with the colored sand, then s/he tin pour off the excess sand into a container to save for art projects.
7. Finally, the child (or teacher) can write the name of continent on the card.
