How to use this worksheet
- Print it with other activity pages and staple them into a travel booklet with a cover your child decorates.
- Tuck a pencil and a small eraser into a zip bag clipped to the booklet.
- Save the maze for a slow moment of the trip, such as a delayed flight, rather than using it in the first hour.
What this worksheet teaches
At 192 cells, this maze demands sustained attention, which is just what a restless traveler needs. Children plan several junctions ahead, scan systematically for dead ends and keep a steady line even on a tray table. Reaching the exit without adult help also builds independence while away from home.
Play idea
After solving, your child writes the holiday destination next to the exit and your home town next to the entrance, then retells the journey so far, one turn for each travel stop.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is one maze worth including in a travel pack?
As part of a booklet, yes; a large 16×12 grid is one of the longer activities and fills a real gap.
Can my child do it on a plane tray table?
Yes, it is a single sheet of standard printer paper that needs only a pencil.
Does the maze need color printing?
No, it is a black-and-white grid with no pictures, so black ink is all you need.
