A continent is a really big piece of land that has lots and lots of countries and people living on it. Imagine if you had a puzzle of the world and each piece was a different color and shape. The big pieces with lots of different countries and cities on them would be the continents. There are seven continents in the world: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Each continent has its own unique culture, language, animals, plants, and geography. People love to explore different continents and learn about all the different things they have to offer!
