About this worksheet

A neighbourhood is the area around a home and the people, places, and routes found nearby. Kindergarten children often know individual landmarks without yet understanding how those places relate: a school may be past the park, a store may sit beside a road, and two homes can belong to the same neighbourhood without looking alike. This worksheet uses simple maps to connect familiar places with their purposes and relative positions. Support items ask about one nearby landmark or a direct community need. Standard items use one map direction. Challenge items trace a two-step route or compare which place is closer to a starting point. The maps include only the features needed by the question, with fixed coordinates and a clear key. Watch for children who treat neighbourhood as another word for house. The home is one part; the neighbourhood includes the surrounding shared places and paths.

What your child will learn

  • Name familiar places that can be part of a neighbourhood
  • Connect a school, park, store, or road with its purpose
  • Describe where one neighbourhood place is compared with another
  • Follow a short route from home to a shared place

Worked example

If the park is east of Home, begin at Home and move right with the compass. The landmark reached is Park.

Common mistake

Calling only the home a neighbourhood instead of including the places and routes around it.

Helpful hint

Find Home first, then look at the nearby places and paths.
