This hard worksheet challenges kindergartners with a community map containing six symbols such as library, hospital, post office, park, school, and grocery store. Children use the legend to answer short questions, count specific buildings, and trace a route from home to the library. The sheet pushes independent legend use without picture hints on the questions.
Letters appear in word labels too, gently bridging early reading skills with social studies map exploration in one task.
