FUN STUFF ANSWERS

National Geographic Kids (AU/NZ)

NORTH AMERICA • North America stretches from the frozen wastes of the Arctic in the north to the sun-drenched Caribbean islands in the south. The stories from this region often serve as explanations for how the world came to be, or as warnings for people not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

AFRICA • With 54 countries and more than 3,000 different groups of people, Africa is filled with ghost stories. There are cautionary tales that warn you of nearby dangers and stories about spirits that exist alongside the living. These stories have been traditionally passed down between generations as a way of sharing knowledge and wisdom.

OCEANIA • The spooky stories of Oceania are almost as diverse as its landscape, which features more than 10,000 islands spread out over thousands of square kilometres of Pacific Ocean. The tales of the many people here carry the history of their culture and often focus on their relationship with nature.

ASIA • In Asia, the tradition of passing down stories orally is thousands of years old. The world’s largest continent and home to around four billion people, it has a huge variety of spooky stories.
