How to use this worksheet

Print both pages; the solution page stays face down until the maze is finished.
The route starts with one step right, one down and one back to the left, so read the first corridors carefully.
Along the way it drops straight down for six squares and moves left 17 times in total, often away from the exit.
It stays clear of the right-hand edge until the very end, then slips into the circle.

What this worksheet teaches

This maze combines length and deception. The correct route passes through 87 of the 192 squares, meets 6 places where the path splits and passes 18 dead ends. Because it keeps heading left, a child cannot solve it by always going right and down. At seven, children can hold a plan in mind, test it and change it when it fails, and this card rewards that. The answer page adds visual memory work: after checking, let your child look at the red route for ten seconds, turn the page over and describe where it went.

Variation to try

Solve in pencil and check with the answer page. If the routes match, trace the way in color; if not, restart from the first wrong turn.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

How do I use the answer page without spoiling the maze?

Keep the second page aside. It shows the same maze with the correct route in red, ready for checking at the end.

My child always turns toward the exit and gets stuck. Why?

The route moves left 17 times, so heading straight for the circle does not work here.

Is this card harder than the other large mazes?

Its long route with many moves to the left suits children who have already solved a few large mazes.
