Maps often use colours and symbols to separate land from water, but a young learner still needs to connect those marks with real features. A lake, river, pond, or bay is water; a hill and forest are land, even though plants and animals may depend on nearby water. This worksheet presents one labelled water feature and two land features on each simple map. Support questions identify the clearest water or land symbol. Standard items connect a feature with how people or animals might use it. Challenge questions compare routes and ask which named path stays on land or reaches water. The visual is instructional rather than decorative: every landmark, coordinate, and label used in the question appears on that item's map. Watch for children who believe every blue mark is sky or every green mark is a park. Ask them to use the map key and the feature's name together.
The map key marks Lake with the water symbol. Hill and Forest use land symbols, so Lake is the water feature.
Sorting only by colour without checking the map key or the feature label.
Use the key, then ask whether the feature is solid ground or water.
