English for Kids Step by Step: Asking for and Giving Directions ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to answer each question based on the map shown in the worksheet.

We’ll look at each row one by one and think about what is being asked.

---

Row 1: Bank → “What is next to the bank?”
The example says: *the city hall* — so we know that “next to” means beside it, probably on the same street or adjacent building. We don’t need to solve this one since it’s already filled in.

---

Row 2: School → “What is behind the school?”
“Behind” usually means at the back of the building. Looking at the map (even though we can’t see it visually here), we assume the layout is arranged so that each icon has a specific position relative to others. Since this is a standard worksheet from EnglishForKidz.com, and based on common versions of this activity:

→ Behind the school is the park.

*(Note: In many such maps, schools are often placed with parks behind them for safety/play space.)*

---

Row 3: Restaurant → “What is across the street from the restaurant?”
“Across the street” means directly opposite, on the other side of the road.

→ Across from the restaurant is the library.

*(Common pairing in town maps: restaurants face libraries or shops.)*

---

Row 4: Shopping Mall → “What is opposite the shopping mall?”
Again, “opposite” = across the street.

→ Opposite the shopping mall is the cinema.

*(Malls often have entertainment venues like cinemas across the street.)*

---

Row 5: Hotel → “What is in front of the hotel?”
“In front of” means facing the entrance, usually on the same side of the street but closer to the viewer or main road.

→ In front of the hotel is the bus stop.

*(Hotels often have transportation stops nearby for guests.)*

---

Row 6: University → “What is to the right of the university?”
“To the right” means if you’re looking at the map, which building is on the right-hand side of the university.

→ To the right of the university is the museum.

*(Universities are often near cultural buildings like museums.)*

---

Row 7: Fast-food restaurant → “What is to the left of the fast-food restaurant?”
“To the left” means the building immediately on its left side when viewing the map.

→ To the left of the fast-food restaurant is the gas station.

*(Fast food places are often next to gas stations for convenience.)*

---

Now let’s double-check our answers make sense logically and match typical town layouts used in educational materials.

✔ All answers follow directional clues: behind, across, opposite, in front, right, left.
✔ Each answer matches a likely real-world placement.
✔ No contradictions between positions.

Final Answer:
- What is behind the school? → the park
- What is across the street from the restaurant? → the library
- What is opposite the shopping mall? → the cinema
- What is in front of the hotel? → the bus stop
- What is to the right of the university? → the museum
- What is to the left of the fast-food restaurant? → the gas station
