How to use this worksheet
- Print one copy per guest plus a few spares, and put it at each seat with a pencil before anyone arrives.
- Invite guests to start as soon as they sit down, which gives the first guests something to do while the others turn up.
- When the food arrives, pencils go into a cup in the middle of the table, and the mazes can be finished later or taken home.
What this worksheet teaches
At a lively party, a quiet table task helps children aged 6 to 8 settle before food and games. The 12×9 maze asks for planning, scanning and a steady hand, and because every guest has the same layout and one correct path, children compare routes and chat about where they got stuck, which helps shy guests join in.
Play idea
Put a present at the exit. Before the guests come, stick a tiny wrapped sweet or sticker on the tablecloth just past the exit of each maze. A guest may unwrap it once their line reaches the exit without crossing a wall, so every child wins, just not all at the same moment.
