    How to use this worksheet

    • Clear the table except for the sheet and a pencil, and switch off background noise such as the TV.
    • Work in short bursts: four minutes on the maze, a short stretch, then another four minutes.
    • Let your child mark progress with a small dot at the end of each burst, so getting back into the task is easy.

    What this worksheet teaches

    Its 192 cells and one correct route make the large grid impossible to solve at a glance, so a child has to keep attention on the path for several minutes. Breaking the work into bursts shows them that focus can be built step by step. Each return after a pause strengthens the habit of getting back on track.

    Play idea

    Try 'distraction bingo': before each burst, your child names one distraction they will ignore, such as a noise from the kitchen or a toy on the floor. When a burst ends without giving in, they tick that distraction off, and three ticks earn a small reward.

    Questions and answers

    Questions from parents

    Will this help a child who is easily distracted?
    It does not replace professional advice where needed, but a clear, visual task with one goal is a gentle way to practice focusing for short periods.
    Why a large maze rather than a quick small one?
    A 16×12 grid needs sustained effort, which is exactly the skill being practiced, and it can be split into short rounds.
    Are there pictures that might pull attention away?
    No, the sheet has only plain walls, an entrance and an exit, keeping the page visually calm.
