This medium worksheet keeps kindergartners busy with nine fill-in-the-blank sentences about a compass rose, a red cross meaning a hospital, an airplane meaning an airport, a book symbol meaning a library, and east sitting on the right. A four-row matching task then links an envelope to a post office, a cross to a hospital, a book to a library, and an airplane to an airport.
Working back and forth between sentences and matched pairs deepens map vocabulary and helps five and six year olds connect everyday community places to the symbols that stand for them.
