This second hard worksheet invites kindergartners to design their own treasure map legend. Children choose four picture symbols for sand, palm tree, rock, and treasure chest, draw each one in a key box, then place the symbols across a small island map. The sheet then asks them to answer questions about their own map using their personal legend.
This creative challenge cements understanding by flipping the role from map reader to map maker.
