This medium worksheet asks kindergartners to use a four-symbol legend to answer simple questions about a zoo map. Children count how many lion symbols appear, find the snack stand, and color the path leading to the elephant area. The sheet stretches early readers by combining symbol identification with basic counting and following directions.
Picture prompts remain large and clear, but children must check the key independently before marking each answer on the playful map.
