Centuries ago, mariners used a magnetic compass to find their way even when the stars were hidden by clouds. Kids will enjoy learning how to use a compass with this FREE Kids Compass Worksheet printable.
Learning to use a compass can help children develop a good sense of direction and confidence in navigating outdoors. Using a compass helps build skills they will need for driving, sailing, or hiking when they are older.
A compass is especially useful when there is no technology available to point us in the right direction!
This worksheet would be an excellent addition to a unit study about early explorers or a nature study. It would also be fun to complete before an outdoor activity involving nature trails or exploring a wooded area.
Have your child identify and label the directions on the compass and color it. To make it more decorative, cut out the compass and mount it on colored cardstock.
