This easy level worksheet introduces kindergartners to the most basic map symbols by matching simple pictures to their meanings. Children see a small map legend showing a tree, house, school, and pond, then circle the matching symbol on a friendly neighborhood map. Activities focus on one-to-one picture recognition with bright, oversized icons.
The sheet builds confidence by repeating each symbol several times so beginning learners can practice without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
