FREE World Geography Unit Study: The 7 Continents, Latitude, Longitude and Hemispheres

When I was in high school, my most dreaded subject was world geography and history. I was specifically confused by latitude and longitude, and I always tuned out the teacher. Determined to make geography a better experience for my kids, we have learned to enjoy learning about maps and locations all over the world.

World Geography Unit Studies

There are quite a few subjects in our homeschool that we enjoy using unit studies for, and these can be quite successful without a set curriculum or textbook. World Geography is one of those subjects that unit studies work really well with.

When you pick a specific continent and then choose countries in that continent to begin to study, everything just comes alive! There are so many things to see and learn about, that your children will be excited to learn geography.

I have put together a ton of resources for you to use with your children to help immerse them in world geography. I have broken them down by each one of the 7 continents. I have also included free printables and resources to help them understand latitude, longitude and hemispheres in a way that is not boring and dry,  like most of us had to endure growing up!
