The Earth is a very big place! It is covered in seven large pieces of land called continents. These continents are North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. Each continent is special and has different animals, plants, and people.

Some continents are very hot, like Africa, where lions live. Other continents are very cold, like Antarctica, where penguins play in the snow. Most people live on the continent of Asia, which is the biggest one! No matter where you are, you are standing on one of these amazing continents.

• It is like a big puzzle that makes up our world!
• Antarctica is the only continent where no people live permanently.
• Australia is both a continent and a country at the same time!
