How to use this worksheet
- Tuck the folded page into a coat pocket or bag with a short pencil, ready for any delay.
- Hand it over as soon as you sit down, before boredom sets in.
- If you are called in mid-maze, mark the spot with a small cross and finish on the way home or in the pharmacy queue.
What this worksheet teaches
Across 192 cells there is only one way through, so a child has to hold a plan in mind while scanning long corridors. When a path ends in a wall, they learn to return to the most recent junction rather than starting again. In a noisy waiting room, that sustained attention is a skill in itself.
Play idea
Give the maze a hospital twist: each dead end is a wrong corridor ending at a supply cupboard, a lift or the laundry, and your child names each one while backing out. The exit is the right consulting room, reached just in time.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a 16×12 maze suitable for a quick appointment?
Yes, because it can be paused at any point; a marked spot lets your child carry on later without losing their way.
Why a paper maze instead of a phone game?
A paper maze is silent, needs no battery and keeps the eyes on one calm task, which suits a room where other patients are waiting.
Does the page have pictures that might be distracting?
No, the sheet contains just one plain maze with an entrance, an exit and the walls between them.
