A quick geography note: Australia is both a country and a continent, while Oceania is the wider geographic region that includes Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and many Pacific island nations.

Printable Blank Map of Australia and Oceania

There are 14 independent countries in the region of Oceania, including Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and many Pacific island nations.

Two printable Australia and Oceania maps are included in the pack. The first provides the country names for extra support, while the second is a blank map of Oceania for kids to label independently.

Students can use the printable Oceania map to identify and label the countries, color them in, or use it as part of a wider geography or country study.

For more hands-on map practice, we also enjoy the Mapology world map game. It’s one of our favorite geography board games and works well alongside these map worksheets.

Australia and Oceania Fact Sheet

The Oceania fact sheet gives kids a chance to research the geography of the region while completing 10 questions. They’ll explore the countries of Oceania, population and land area, major cities, and other geographical features.

The worksheet also includes activities comparing countries by population and land area, helping kids become more familiar with Australia and the wider Oceania region.

For even more geography practice, we enjoy the World card game. It’s a fun way to reinforce country locations, flags, capitals, and other world geography facts.

Kangaroo Worksheet for Kids

Use this kangaroo worksheet to research where kangaroos live, what they eat, how they reproduce, and the threats they face.

• In what countries can you find kangaroos in their natural habitat?
• How long do kangaroos live? In the wild, and in captivity
• How many babies do kangaroos typically have?
• The type of birth, is it egg or live?
• What food do kangaroos eat? How do they get their food?
• What is the population of kangaroos? What is their biggest threat?

We also use the book Life Cycles in our studies, which includes a section about kangaroos.

Oceania Flags Worksheet

The country flags included are:

• New Zealand
• Solomon Islands
• Vanuatu

For even more flag practice, we also enjoy the 100 PICS World Flags game. It’s a fun way to see how many countries kids can identify from their flags alone.

Oceania Word Search

This printable Oceania word search includes 18 countries and cities from across the region. Words can be found horizontally, vertically, diagonally, forward, or backward, making it a little more challenging for older kids.

An answer key is also included, as some of the words can be tricky to find. You can find even more themed word search printables to use alongside your geography lessons.

Tip: We prefer using a highlighter or circling each word rather than crossing out the letters, as some letters may be used in more than one word.

The 18 Oceania countries and cities to find are:

• Australia
• New Zealand
• Fiji
• Vanuatu
• Samoa
• Kiribati
• Micronesia
