Maze: The Children Go to the Playground — Ages 5–6
How to use this worksheet
- Find the two children at the start of the maze and the playground at the finish.
- Walk two fingers like Ola and Kuba through the maze first, then draw their way to the playground in pencil.
- Some paths to the slide stop at a wall, so your five-year-old learns that looking first beats running first.
What this worksheet teaches
Leading Ola and Kuba through a 6 × 4 grid helps a five- or six-year-old plan a short route, back out of a dead end without giving up and draw inside the corridors. The swings and slide make a fun goal.
Play idea
Draw your dream playground and a path to it from your home.
