Fun geography worksheet where kids check the box next to items found on a map, like a compass rose and mountain symbols.

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 use wavy blue lines to show rivers.
2. Compass – Yes! A compass rose (with N, S, E, W) is commonly on maps to show direction.
3. People waving – No! Maps don’t usually show real people or what they’re doing like waving.
4. Forest symbols – Yes! Green areas with tree icons or patterns are used to show forests.
5. Stop sign – No! Stop signs are for roads in real life, not typically shown as symbols on general maps (unless it’s a very detailed street map — but even then, it’s rare for kids’ maps).
6. Mountain symbols – Yes! Triangles or shaded peaks are used to show mountains.
7. Recycling symbol – No! That’s for trash bins or environmental info, not something you’d find on a regular map.
8. Continent outline – Yes! World maps show outlines of continents like Africa, Asia, etc.

Now let’s check the boxes next to the ones that belong on a map:

✔ river symbol
✔ compass
✘ people waving
✔ forest symbols
✘ stop sign
✔ mountain symbols
✘ recycling symbol
✔ continent outline

Final Answer:
Check the boxes next to:
- river symbol
- compass
- forest symbols
