Explain to the children that symbols are drawings of things in the real world. Show them a simple map that includes symbols. Allow them to tell you what the symbols mean. Practice location vocabulary by asking questions such as, “What is between the benches?” or “What is far from the swing?” During outdoor time, provide symbols for the items on your playground and paper for the children to use to create a map with a key.
