Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet

- While solving, talk about where in the story the character would be at each turn.
- At the exit, your child retells how the book ended.
What this worksheet teaches
Linking a maze to a story helps children remember and retell what they heard, while the grid trains planning, visual scanning and pencil control. The medium size is long enough for a short retelling yet not so long that it becomes tiring.
Play idea
Set a librarian's challenge: the maze exit is the library door, and when your child reaches it they sum up the book in one sentence, like a mini book review.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Are story characters printed on the maze?
No, it is a plain maze without pictures; your child brings the story in from the book.
Can the maze be used in a group library session?
Yes, a stack of copies works well for a group of children aged 6 to 8.
What if my child did not listen to the whole story?
The maze can still be solved on its own, since the story link is optional.
