The Seven Continents

By Nancy

Sarah: Michael, do you have a rhyme that can help people remember the seven continents?

Michael: Hey actually, I do. It goes like this:
(The rhyme is composed by A. A. Anderson ©Natasha Bochkov, M.C.S., Martin Bayes, Ph.D., and Donna LaRoche, M.Ed.)

To learn the seven continents,
Think of the letter “A”
And when you’re down to only one,
An “E” will save the day.
There’s Africa, Antarctica,
Australia,  Asia too.
The oceans run between them
With their waters deep and blue.
There are also two Americas-
North and South, you see.
Now we’re coming to the end-
Europe starts with “E”!

Sarah: Cool! Would you say the rhyme again, one line at a time and let me follow too?

Michael: Sure, let’s go!
(Repeat the lines)

Sarah: Thanks so much, Michael!
