Maze: The Sparrow Flies to the Bird Feeder — Ages 6–8
How to use this worksheet
- Find the sparrow at the start of the maze and the bird feeder at the finish.
- Flit a finger from branch to branch toward the feeder, then draw the sparrow's path in pencil.
- Many forks stand between the sparrow and the seeds, which pushes a child of 6–8 to plan the route before drawing.
What this worksheet teaches
Flying the sparrow through a 10 × 7 grid helps a child of 6–8 plan ahead at every fork, rule out a dead end by looking along it and keep a clean line in medium corridors. The winter feeder gives the task a goal.
Play idea
Talk about feeding birds in winter and add more birds at the feeder.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What should we feed birds in winter?
Sunflower seeds and unsalted fat — never bread.
What if my child gets stuck?
Hop back with the sparrow to the last fork and try a branch it has not flown down yet.
How long does it take?
Five to ten minutes for most children aged 6–8; if they get stuck often, let them start at the feeder and trace back to the sparrow.
