How to use this worksheet
- Pick a regular slot, for example every Monday morning, and put the maze on the summer calendar.

- File each finished page in a summer folder to show the teacher or simply to look back on in September.
What this worksheet teaches
Weeks without school can mean less practice in sustained attention and careful handwriting. A large maze keeps both ticking over: the child plans a long route, holds several options in mind and draws controlled lines for several minutes. It feels like a game, so it rarely meets holiday resistance.
Play idea
Hide the maze somewhere in the garden or the holiday flat with a clue; finding the page is the warm-up, and solving it is the main event.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is one maze a week really enough to keep skills up?
It is one small piece; combined with reading and outdoor play, it helps keep concentration habits alive.
Will my child find a 16×12 maze too easy by the end of summer?
If so, time the solutions or start from the exit to raise the challenge.
Does the maze need any special printing?
No, it is plain black-and-white on a single page, printable on any home printer.
