Description :

Students will look at a world map. They will identify the continents and oceans by dragging text boxes into the correct place on the map.

…it would be nice if the activity were saved as a Kidspiration template so it is sure to open in Kidspiration and not Inspiration by default. To do this:
1. Go to the Teacher menu>Enable Teacher Menu
2. Teacher menu>Save with Activity Wizard…
3. The steps should be self explanatory, but let me know if you have questions!

Otherwise, the activity works great in Kidspiration, but if you would like to use it (or a modified version) in Inspiration 8, the world map must first be moved to the back so that the labels can be placed in front of it. To do this:
1. Select the map
2. Choose the Effect menu>Send to back

Then the document can also be saved as an Inspiration template:
1. Utility menu>Template Wizard
