Let’s work through this step by step.

This is a matching activity. You have a blank globe outline with the names of oceans already placed (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, Southern). Below the globe, there are shapes of continents that need to be cut out and glued in the right places on the globe.

The goal is to match each continent shape to its correct location on the globe.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Look at the shapes of the continents at the bottom.
2. Think about where each continent is located on Earth:
- North America — top left (western hemisphere, northern part)
- South America — below North America (western hemisphere, southern part)
- Europe — top center-left (eastern hemisphere, northern part, near Asia)
- Asia — large landmass on the right side (eastern hemisphere, mostly northern)
- Africa — center, below Europe (eastern hemisphere, straddles equator)
- Australia — small island continent, bottom right (southern hemisphere, east of Africa)
- Antarctica — bottom center (around the South Pole)

3. Match each shape to the correct spot on the globe outline.

Since we can’t actually cut and glue here, we’ll describe which shape goes where based on typical worksheet layouts.

Looking at the shapes from left to right at the bottom:

- First shape: Looks like North America → place in upper left of globe
- Second shape: Looks like South America → place below North America on left side
- Third shape: Looks like Africa → place in center, slightly right
- Fourth shape: Looks like Australia → place in lower right
- Fifth shape: Looks like Asia → place in upper right (large landmass)
- Sixth shape: Looks like Europe → place above Africa, left of Asia
- Seventh shape: Looks like Antarctica → place at very bottom of globe

So the correct matching is:

→ North America: first shape
→ South America: second shape
→ Africa: third shape
→ Australia: fourth shape
→ Asia: fifth shape
→ Europe: sixth shape
→ Antarctica: seventh shape

Final Answer:
Match the continent shapes to their correct positions on the globe as follows:
North America (first shape), South America (second), Africa (third), Australia (fourth), Asia (fifth), Europe (sixth), Antarctica (seventh).
