Delicious Continents

Printable Version for your convenience!

Title - Delicious Continents
By - Cheryl Schlisselfeld
Subject - Social Studies
Grade Level - 1-3
Aim: How many continents do we have?
(This is excellent for special education students)
Materials: blue color paper, graham crackers, map of world, white label stickers
Instructions: Depending on how many students you have in your class, assign every student to a continent. Each student has to write the name of their continent nicely on a sticker. Show each student the shape of their continent on a globe or map. Each student has to bite the shape of their continent out of the graham crackers! Then make a world map out of graham crackers on the blue paper (which represents water) on the teacher's desk. This is a fantastic way of letting the students know that we have seven continents floating in all the waters of the world just like lots of cookies! At the end everyone gets to eat their continent.
