How the Colour the continents worksheets work
The map shows country borders but no names, so pupils need to know – or look up – which continent each country is in. Russia and Turkey straddle Europe and Asia, and the sheet suggests colouring each part to match.
Each activity has its instructions, a key to colour in and space for pupils' answers printed on the sheet. The maps are crisp black line drawings with no names, so they photocopy cleanly and pupils do the finding themselves.
