Europe Continent Study for Grade Schoolers

We are revisiting our Europe study, this time I’ve decided to take it by regions.  But before we dive into that, we reviewed some of the things we’ve learned in the past years.

Europe Continent Study: European Regions

Here’s a new study for this year, learning Europe through its regions.  Here I was showing Mavi the divisions and the boundaries in the map.  I bought this map years ago at Montessori Print Shop.  So we’re doing a color code here based on our map in Europe in a Nutshell.  Blue for northern Europe, red for western Europe, green for eastern Europe and orange for southern Europe.

Europe Continent Study: Flags

The same goes to the flags. To be able to remember the countries easily, we just limit our study to 3-4 countries per region. You can get these mini-flags from my Flags of Europe printable.


We always worked on the pin flags because Mavi enjoys this activity.  The pin flags are included in my Flags of Europe file.  My pin flags are really old and has been used so many times.  I shall make a new set for Xavi when he needs it.

Europe Continent Study: Animals

Mavi is sometimes confused of the animal list between North America and Europe so we are always reviewing this.  The fact cards seen here are from my Animals of Europe printable (which includes 3-part cards as well).


This new activity this year is examining and matching European animals with their covers.  This was a hit!  My animal figures matches the printable. How cool is that?  The animal covers are part of my Europe in a Nutshell and the animal figures are from Schleich.


Here’s a closer look.

Europe Continent Study: Landmarks

Beautiful and historical landmarks in Europe are too many to mention, so in this study we’re only picking a few based on the regions.  My aunt who visited us early this year brought me a few Safari Toobs and one of which is the Safari Ltd. Landmark toob that includes the Stonehenge in UK and the Colosseo in Rome. You can get the Safari Ltd. World Landmarks and Safari Ltd. Around the World Toob from Amazon and the cards are from Montessori Landmarks of Europe 3 Part Cards and Fact Cards learning material.


Now to put it into action, Mavi worked on sorting maps and flags according to the regions using our Europe Puzzle Map. More about it here.
