This year Kaleb and I have been wandering around the world via books, Little Passports, and various other things we come across in our travels. We have a slew of resources and to go along with a few of our books, I put together some printables where we could track important information related to the countries.
There are several pages for each continent: a blank continent image, one showing countries/territories within the continent, and another labeling each of the countries/territories within the continent (Antarctica only has one page).
All continent fact pages were designed using the traditional Montessori colors: Africa (green), Antarctica (white), Asia (yellow), Australia (brown), Europe (red), North America (orange), and South America (pink).
Each page has room to record the following information and also shows where that continent is in comparison to other continents:
- Size/Area
- Number of Countries
- Population
- Highest Point
- Place with Most People
- Climate
- Top Landmarks
- Natural Resources
- Nearby Oceans
We’ve been using the below books to help us fill in the information blanks on each continent fact file:
The set also has seven half-sheet printables we recommend printing off onto cardstock and laminating. Use them as larger flash cards to show the various country/territory divisions on the continents. We have a copy in each of our continent boxes and will put them on the wall above our map when we are studying the continent.
We also highly recommend taking part in a Little Passports subscription! Not sure which adventure to choose for your explorer? Check out these Little Passports blog posts and learn more about their four subscription options:

Thankyou-these look fantastic and will be a great supplement to our current geography unit!
Hi-
This is such amazing information! Thank you so much for making it available! I teach a class about countries of the world for summer school, and this has broadened my list! I just wanted to share back. There is a great video site called Discovery Education Streaming. My school district has made it available to me, so I’m not sure how homeschool parents would get it, but it would be worth looking into. Anyhow, on Discover Education Streaming videos, there are these short two-and-a-half minute videos called FIVE. Each video tells you five things about a place, or an animal, or a type of transportation or a wonder. There are all kinds of them, including ones about the countries which you feature here. They’re quick and interesting, and usually add to fun facts about a place.
Thanks so much for sharing – I’ll check it out!
Thank so much for sharing your wonderful work!! I love it and I’m planning to use it with my daughter.
Hello, thank you very much for those continent cards. I will for sure use it with my kids.
I live in Switzerland so I was exited to see the european card…and instead of switzerland you wrote Liechtenstein ;o) Liechtenstein is also a small country between switzerland and Austria.
Have a nice week-end and thanks again.
Greetings from Switzerland :o)
I was able to update the file once I received the clip art – thanks so much!
Cyndi – I’ll send you a separate link. You may want to try opening it in another browser. I just clicked on the link and it opened for me.
me too :( pretty please hannabear09@gmail.com
I have same problem, how can I get continent facts file download? It looks soo good, Thank you
It is a large file and make take a moment to open. You may need to try a different browser. I’m not sure what is happening (it opened on my phone just now).
Thanks! These will work great for my class.
I really want to print these but my computer just won’t. It is printing everything else but this document. Help?
You may want to try using a different browser. I’m not sure what to tell you – I’m sorry!
Is there an answer key that goes with the fact sheets?
Since key information can change (population, etc…) it’s best to let families/classrooms use current data.
I love these, thanks so much for sharing them! We used them in our homeschool and I will be sharing the link on my blog! Super terrific!!
Enjoy! And thanks for sharing. :)
Did you create the map graphics yourself? I would love to have a set of these for Country Fact sheets- instead of the continent name in the bar of color, a country name (or blank to fill in a individually)- and the word box be facts about the country- and the map of the continent smaller to shade in where the country is, and then a both underneath to draw the flag….. WOuld you be willing to share the map graphics?
I purchased them from Teachers Pay Teachers. :)
p.s. here is a link to some of my other geography resources where there is another country fact sheet which might be helpful: https://www.homeschoolcreations.net/free-homeschool-geography-resources/
These were a great help. Thank you very much!
Thank you-this is a fantastic reosurces and will be a great supplement to our current geography unit.
Muchas Gracias!
Thank you, thank you and thank you!
Thank you so much !!
I am so thankful for moms like you who share your creative abilities with us. This has helped me so much and been such a blessing to my little homeschool co-op. It is so difficult when every time I find a great resource they want a credit card or membership. Thank you Thank you Thank you! Not all of us have the time or ability to create this kind of excellent content!
