Maze: The Train Arrives at the Station — Ages 6–8
How to use this worksheet
- Find the steam train at the start of the maze and the station at the finish.
- Run a finger along the track first so the steam train never leaves the rails, then draw its way to the station in pencil.
- The 10 × 7 grid is full of switches and sidings, so a child aged 6–8 must plan a few turns ahead to reach the platform.
What this worksheet teaches
Driving the train through a 10 × 7 grid helps a child of 6–8 plan a route several turns ahead, recognize a siding that goes nowhere and draw an even line along the corridors. Getting the passengers to the station on time keeps them going.
Play idea
Make a train out of chairs and announce the next stations.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What is the station clock for?
It shows whether the train is on time, so passengers know when to board.
What if my child gets stuck?
Back the train up to the last switch and send it down the other track — a finger test first saves erasing.
How long does it take?
Most children aged 6–8 need five to ten minutes; if they tire, let the train stop at a “halfway station” and finish after a short break.
