Map Skills for Kids: Learning Directions and Places in Social Studies

This worksheet helps young explorers get comfy with maps by asking them to spot what’s north, south, east, and west of familiar places like a school or a lake. Kids practice using directions in a way that feels like a mini adventure, not just a quiz. It’s perfect for building those early geography skills and getting everyone talking about their own neighborhoods. Who knew finding the fire station could be this much fun?
