Maps and Geography Worksheet

This maps and geography worksheet gives first graders practice with map reading, including noticing places, using simple location words, and connecting map pictures to real-world geography.

At age 6, children are starting to understand that a drawing can stand for a real place, but kids often stall when a map looks smaller, flatter, or less familiar than the world around them. Practice with maps helps a child talk about where things are and how places fit together.

A parent or teacher can sit beside the child and read each direction aloud, then ask the child to point, circle, match, or mark answers on the page. After the worksheet, the grown-up can ask one quick real-life question, such as where the door, table, or street would go on a pretend map.

The worksheet keeps the task focused, so a six-year-old can work without a long lecture or a pile of extra materials. The page is useful because the map work stays clear, hands-on, and easy to talk through during shared parent-child or teacher-student time.
