How to use this worksheet
- Once dressed and packed, your child sits at the table with the maze and a pencil.
- Solve for a fixed stretch, such as ten minutes, then stop and leave the sheet to continue tomorrow.
- Keep the same place and time every morning so the routine becomes automatic.
What this worksheet teaches
A large maze exercises sustained attention, planning and a methodical search, the same abilities called on in class. It helps children settle their thoughts before the school day and gives them a small sense of control over a busy morning.
Play idea
Set a weekly goal: reach the exit by Friday, a few corridors each morning. Mark each day's stopping point with a small dot so the progress is easy to see.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Will a large maze make us late?
Not with a fixed time limit, since the maze stops when time is up and continues the next day.
Is the 16 by 12 grid too hard for a morning task?
It is meant for ages 8 to 10 and can be solved in stages, so its size is not a problem.
Why a maze instead of reading?
Both are good; a maze adds hand work and route planning and needs no book.
