Large Maze for Ages 8-10 — Set 299049
Waiting rooms rarely run on time, so a large maze folded into a bag gives a child aged 8 to 10 a quiet puzzle for the minutes before the doctor calls their name.

Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Fold the sheet in four and keep it with a short pencil in the pocket of the bag you take to appointments.
- Rest the paper on a magazine from the waiting-room table so the line stays steady.
- If the name is called mid-maze, fold the page again; the 16×12 grid is easy to pick up later from the last marked turn.
What this worksheet teaches
The large grid has long corridors and many dead ends, so the child practices holding a plan in mind while noise and movement go on around them. That is focused attention in a real setting, not only at a desk. Following narrow passages without touching the walls also keeps the hands busy in a way that can ease the nerves some children feel before a check-up.
Play idea
Before starting, the child guesses how many other patients will be called before the maze is finished and writes the number in the corner. Each time a name is called, they add a tally mark and compare at the end.
