Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Print one copy for each person taking part, adults included.
- Everyone solves their copy at their own pace, with no peeking at other sheets.
- Your child checks every finished sheet against their own solution, since there is only one route to the exit.
What this worksheet teaches
At 192 cells, this maze challenges adults too, so the playing field is fair. Children practice planning and patience, and acting as referee builds responsibility and careful checking. Comparing sheets afterward shows that everyone reached the same answer, even after exploring different dead ends.
Play idea
Put a family leaderboard on the fridge for the weekend with categories like fastest, fewest dead ends and neatest line, so every player has a chance to win something.
