Create a continent
Here’s your chance you add a new continent to the world map.
Rip up a piece of scrap paper into a few pieces.
Pick a random piece and let if fall on another piece of paper.
Trace around them to find the outline of your own continent!
Now place it on a world map and use your imagination to inhabit it.
What would be the weather on your continent?
What kind of animals and plants would you see there?
Who lives there?
What do they eat, wear and live in?
What language / languages do they speak?
