This challenging worksheet pushes kindergarten map skills with four multiple-choice questions about another name for a key, what a tree symbol most likely shows, which symbol might stand for a hospital, and which way you head when you move down on a map. Fill-in-the-blank sentences then cover key, the four main directions on a compass rose, an airplane meaning an airport, and a black line meaning a road.

These prompts ask kindergartners to choose, reason, and explain, growing the careful thinking habits that strong elementary geography work depends on.
