Make a Map

Do you have a favorite place to be outside? Make a map and show the way to your favorite outdoor spot. Then, see if your friends and family can follow your map and find your special outdoor place!

What You Need

What You Do

  • Choose your favorite outdoor place. It could be in your yard, neighborhood, or local park.

  • On any size piece of paper, draw a path to follow to get to your special place.

  • Add landmarks to your map to help show the way, such as an unusual tree, a big rock, a road, or anything else that will tell someone he or she is on the right path.

  • If you want, use a compass to add directions (north, south, east, west), and a tape measure to add distances to your map.
