This second medium worksheet introduces a farm map with five legend symbols including barn, cow, apple tree, pond, and tractor. Kindergartners match each symbol to its written word using picture-supported labels, then circle items the farmer would find near the barn.
The activity builds early vocabulary alongside map-reading practice. Children also draw their own legend box around two new symbols, gently introducing the idea that map keys can be created, not only read.
