How to use this worksheet
- Seat the racers with their copies where they cannot see each other's paper.
- Agree the rules before "go": pencils only, and touching a wall means returning to the last junction.
- The first to reach the exit puts the pencil down; the win counts only after the route is checked.
- With an age gap, give the younger sibling a one-minute head start.
What this worksheet teaches
Long corridors and many branches on a 16×12 grid mean racing does not reward scribbling: the child who scans ahead usually beats the one who rushes into dead ends, and that lesson lands better when a sibling proves it. A fine line through narrow passages under light time pressure also builds pencil control.
Play idea
After the race, hold both sheets together against a sunny window. Because there is just one way through, two correct lines should match along the whole route. Any place where they part shows where one racer slipped through a wall or wandered into a dead end.
