This easy worksheet keeps first graders tracing the same friendly word set—legend, north, south, key, map, and symbol—then steps into short fill-ins like A small tree symbol might mean a park and A compass rose shows north and south. A true-or-false round confirms that a map key and a map legend mean the same thing and that a compass rose helps us find directions.

The mix of handwriting, sentence completion, and quick judgment calls gives steady, low-pressure practice for children just learning that pictures can stand for real places.
