Learning Outcomes
Reads a simple map key. The child matches letter symbols to neighborhood places such as home, library, park, and market.
Adds a new map symbol. The child draws a shared garden, marks it with X, and includes X in the key.
Explains a community use. The child tells who could use the garden and why it belongs in the neighborhood.
Use a Map Key to Plan a Neighborhood Garden
Maps can look busy to a first grader, especially when the letters and symbols feel like secret code. If your child gets stuck asking where everything is, start with this friendly neighborhood page and point to the key together.
On this printable worksheet, children read a picture map with a simple key: A for Home, B for Library, C for Park, and D for Market. Then they draw a shared garden in the white space, mark it with X, add X to the map key, and explain who could use the garden.
Use the page as a short talk-and-draw activity. First, ask your child to find the market, park, library, and home on the map. Next, let them choose where the garden should go, draw it, label it with X, and trace a route from the market to the new garden with a finger or crayon.
This worksheet is part of the Whizki Learning Grade 1 Social Studies Adventures set in Whizki Plus. It supports early geography, community thinking, and oral language through one practical map workshop built around a neighborhood children can understand.
Keep the session light, about 5 to 10 minutes. If your child has more to say, write their explanation beside the prompt or ask one quick follow-up: Who would help take care of this garden?
