Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Use an ordinary gray pencil for exploring and a colored felt-tip or highlighter for the final route.
- Explore with short, light pencil lines and stop each one at the wall where it fails, without erasing.
- When a pencil line reaches the exit, go over only the successful stretch in color, from the entrance to the exit.
What this worksheet teaches
On a 192-cell grid, the two-color page records which branches were tried, where the search went wrong and how the answer was found. Children aged 8 to 10 can look back at that record and adjust their strategy, a skill that transfers directly to checking work in math. Retracing the correct route in color also needs a precise, steady hand.
Play idea
Play guess the order. A parent looks only at the gray pencil lines and tries to guess which dead end was explored first and which last. Your child reveals the true order, and both usually learn something about how the maze was tackled.
