Maze: The Farmer Drives His Tractor to the Barn — Ages 10–12
How to use this worksheet
- Find the farmer's tractor at the start of the maze and the red barn at the finish.
- Look for the tractor's lane with eyes and a finger before drawing, then mark the whole way to the red barn in one careful pencil line.
- The 14 × 10 grid is packed with long dead ends, so a child of 10–12 has to plan like a farmer racing the rain.
What this worksheet teaches
Driving the tractor through a 14 × 10 grid trains a child of 10–12 to plan long stretches of route, test branches in their head before drawing and keep a fine, steady line. Beating the rain to the barn keeps them going.
Play idea
Add animals in the barn and a field of crops.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does this maze have so many corridors?
The 14 × 10 grid is for children aged 10–12 — the route must be planned around dead ends.
What if my child gets stuck?
Back the tractor up to the last junction and try a lane it has not driven; mark closed lanes with a tiny x.
How long does it take?
Ten to fifteen minutes for most children aged 10–12; if they solve it fast, ask them to time a second run.
