About this worksheet

A neighborhood is the area around your home: the houses of your neighbors, the places you visit, and the paths between them. A kindergarten child often knows each place on its own but not how the places fit together or what each one is for. This worksheet asks a short spoken question about a familiar place, and the child circles the picture that answers it.

A grown-up reads each question, so no reading is needed. Support pages use three pictures. Standard pages use wrong pictures from the same neighborhood. Challenge pages use four pictures and add a small map, where the child decides which place is closest to the house and which is farthest. Walk around your own street afterwards and name the places you pass.

What your child will learn

  • Name common neighborhood places and say what each is for
  • Know where to go to learn, shop, play, borrow books, or see a doctor
  • Tell the difference between a house and a row of neighbors' homes
  • Decide which place is nearer or farther on a simple map

C3 Framework standard: D2.Geo.3.K-2

Worked example

Ask: where can a family buy food? The child looks at the pictures of a school, a shop and a park, and circles the shop. Then ask how you get there from home.

Common mistake

Helpful hint

Think about what people do at each place, then choose the picture that fits.
