"Educational worksheet identifying common map symbols for children."

Let’s go through each item one by one and decide if it can be found on a map.

1. River symbol – Yes! Maps often show rivers with blue wavy lines or symbols to represent waterways.
2. Compass – Yes! A compass rose (showing North, South, East, West) is commonly on maps to help you know direction.
3. People waving – No! Maps don’t usually show pictures of people waving — that’s not useful for navigation or geography.
4. Forest symbols – Yes! Forests are often shown with green tree icons or shaded areas on maps.
5. Stop sign – No! Stop signs are real-world traffic signs — they’re not typically drawn on general maps (unless it’s a very detailed street map, but even then, not as a standard “map part” like the others).
6. Mountain symbols – Yes! Mountains are often shown with triangle shapes or brown shading on maps.
7. Recycling symbol – No! That’s a logo for recycling programs — not something you’d find on a geographic map.
8. Continent outline – Yes! Maps of the world or regions always show outlines of continents like Africa, Asia, etc.

So, we check the boxes next to:
- river symbol
- compass
- forest symbols
- mountain symbols
- continent outline

We do NOT check:
- people waving
- stop sign
- recycling symbol

Final Answer:
Check the boxes for: river symbol, compass, forest symbols, mountain symbols, continent outline.
