Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Print the sheet in advance, on a larger paper size if the grandparent would like a bigger page to see clearly.
- The grandchild draws the path while the grandparent watches for dead ends and asks 'are you sure?' at tricky junctions.
- When the maze is solved, the grandchild signs it and gives it to the grandparent as a keepsake.
What this worksheet teaches
A medium maze of 108 cells has enough twists to need a conversation, which is exactly what makes it good for two generations. The child practices planning and explaining their choices, and hears how an older person approaches a puzzle. Working together on one sheet builds patience on both sides.
Play idea
Before the child starts, the grandparent shares a story about a real maze or a time they got lost, perhaps in a hedge maze, a big city or a forest. The child then solves the maze as if helping the grandparent find the way back.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Can the maze be printed larger for older eyes?
Yes, if your printer allows scaling, a larger sheet keeps the same 12×9 layout with wider corridors.
Who should hold the pencil?
The child, ideally; the grandparent's role is to ask questions and spot dead ends, not to solve it.
Is there only one right way?
Yes, the maze has one correct path from the entrance to the exit, which makes checking easy for both.
