A fun and creative
way to review mapping skills
as students design their very
own theme park.
Part 1— Map You have been hired by an amusement park company to develop and design a brand new amusement park. You have millions of dollars available to you to create the wildest and craziest rides known to mankind—so go crazy! One of the first things you need to do is to develop a map of the new park for your guests. What will your park look like? Will it have a specific theme? You must include the following on your map:
Map Title The name of your amusement park should be the title. Think of something creative and catchy.
The location of park facilities (use symbols)
Washrooms Parking Restaurants / food services At least one other facility or service you can add
At least eight rides must be shown on your map.
(You can do more!) You can draw a mini-picture and label it OR use a symbol to represent the ride.
Scale Your map MUST be drawn at a scale of 1 cm = 25 m
Mapping Essentials
A north arrow Border Scale (1 cm = 25m.) Legend or key—include all the symbols for facilities & rides Your Name/Date/Block Neatly colored
Part 2— Writing You must also write about your park and explain your wildest ride. Include the following details:
Briefly describe the park you designed. What’s your best ride? What does it do? How scary, wild, crazy, wacky is it? Why people will want to ride it? What is so special or unique about your ride? Remember to spell and grammar check.

Design Your Own Amusement Park!
1. Title
Your title must be at the top and explain the purpose of your map. Ex. “Rivers of North America” is better than “My Map” or “Rivers”.
2. North Indicator
Always show the north direction with a simple arrow.
3. Key or Legend
Be sure to clearly and neatly explain all the colors and symbols you have used on the map.
The legend should be in a box in a corner of your map.
4. Shading & Coloring
Please only use pencil crayons—lightly shade in your map using neutral colors.
Use appropriate colors—blue for rivers, brown for mountains…
Inland seas and lakes should be completely colored in with blue.
Ocean coastlines should be outlined in blue.
5. Labels
All labels should be printed neatly (in pencil first and then black pen).
Labels should be parallel to the bottom of the map—use a ruler!
Label important things with bigger labels, smaller areas with smaller labels.
There should be no spelling mistakes.
Keep it simple—the less cluttered your map looks, the better.
6. Border
All maps must have a border approximately 1 cm from the edge of the paper.
Please use a ruler.
7. Personal Information
Your name, the date and any other information your teacher requires should be on every map you complete.
