Sales statistics indicate that when buying globes of different colours, people tend to choose the blue ones. This first choice is likely to represent the oceans, seas and rivers in blue and to show countries in arbitrary colours in order to differentiate them. Nevertheless, we often buy globes to be used by people other than ourselves and we might not pay attention to how these consumers would perceive these globes’ colours. Therefore, we might carefully choose the colour of the globe we buy and possibly buy different colours of globes to account for those with a disability-related to the perception of colours.

The reasons why primary schools should have globes in their learning arsenals are multifold:• Globes are attractive for anyone, especially for kids who enjoy the tactile experience.• Globes are educational gadgets as they help students improve their geography.• Globes can be used as game tools in and outside classrooms.• Globes are decorative.• Globes are in general safe to use.

According to geologists, continents have been constantly drifting since the formation of the earth. The Pangea was not the first supercontinent. Before it, there were ancient continents (Vaalbara, Ur, Columbia, Rodina, Pannotia, Gondwana and Laurasia). It is from the Pangea that Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe and Oceania emerged.
