Geography: Map Symbols Part 1 | Worksheet | PrimaryLeap.co.uk - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step.

You’re being asked to draw OS map symbols in the box next to each name. OS stands for Ordnance Survey — they make maps of the UK, and they use special pictures (symbols) to show things like roads, churches, footpaths, etc.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Look at the symbol on the left.
2. Copy it exactly into the empty box on the right, next to its name.
3. Make sure your drawing matches the shape, color, and style shown.

Let’s list them one by one so you know what to draw:

- A road → Draw a thick red line (like a bold red bar).
- Bridge → Draw two curved lines that look like an “X” but with rounded ends — like two arches crossing.
- B road → Draw a thick orange line (same as A road, but orange).
- Church → Draw a simple black cross (+).
- Church with a spire → Draw a circle with a small cross on top (like a ball with a + on it).
- Church with a tower → Draw a rectangle with a cross on top (like a building with a + on the roof).
- A footpath → Draw a dashed red line (short red dashes with gaps between them).
- A motorway → Draw a thick blue line (bold blue bar).
- A minor road → Draw two thin parallel black lines (like train tracks, but straight and close together).
- A post office → Draw a light blue square with a white letter “P” inside it.

Make sure your drawings are neat and match the examples given. You don’t need to write anything else — just copy the symbols into the boxes.

Final Answer:
Draw each OS map symbol exactly as shown on the left into the corresponding blank box on the right:
- Red thick line for “A road”
- Two curved crossing lines for “Bridge”
- Orange thick line for “B road”
- Black plus sign for “Church”
- Circle with cross on top for “Church with a spire”
- Rectangle with cross on top for “Church with a tower”
- Dashed red line for “A footpath”
- Blue thick line for “A motorway”
- Two thin parallel black lines for “A minor road”
- Light blue square with white “P” for “A post office”
