Continent Club

Have Fun with Geography!

Study the provided materials below and then demonstrate your knowledge at Continent Check in school.  

What?  WTV's geography enrichment program for grades 1 - 5.  Students/Parents/Guardians download the study materials and have fun together exploring the world through geography.  This club is optional, but heavily encouraged, to bridge the geography knowledge gap.   It's a wonderful way to build a foundation for global literacy and inspire curiosity about the world, initiating your student's first steps to become a global citizen.

Where/When?   Students study at home and are individually tested on the last Thursday of the month 8:15 to 10:15 AM in the school cafeteria.  Additional information boards for the students are located in the library.

How does the program work?  Below are links to download the study materials.  Study at home. 

Check Day: Students are asked to identify the 7 continents, and 20 countries/geographical features of that month’s featured continent, with emphasis on learning the first four countries.  Students receive a stamp in their passport for every four places they correctly identify.   

Students who get all 20 correct can go a step further and take “THE CHALLENGE”: identifying 10 additional geographical features.  Correct identification of the 20 checks and 10 challenges earns foreign money.

Students who get all checks and challenges correct for the year (or top percentage) earn additional prizes and recognition.
