A map of my room

Ages 3 to 5 Read and do together · about 15 minutes

Read together

A map is a picture from above.

Where is the bed? Where is the door?

Do it

1. Look at your room from a chair, standing above it. Imagine you are a bird.
2. Draw a big square for the room. Add the door, the bed and the window as simple shapes.
3. Put a star where a treasure (a toy) is hidden. Ask someone to find it using the map.
4. Say “next to”, “in front of”, “behind”, “under”.

Talk about it

• Where is the treasure?
• What is next to your bed?

For the grown-up

A map shows where things are. Drawing one needs the idea of looking from above, which takes practice. Words about place, like “behind” and “under”, are part of it.
