Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Send the set number to the grandparent so both households print the same maze.
- On the call, the grandchild guides the grandparent through the maze with words only, such as 'go down to the bottom, then turn left'.
- At the exit, hold both sheets up to the camera and check that the two lines match.
- Living close by? Sit side by side instead and take turns giving directions.
What this worksheet teaches
Describing a 12×9 route to someone who cannot see your sheet asks for precise direction words and clear sequencing. The grandparent's questions push the child to check the maze carefully, and the shared goal gives a video call something to do beyond talking.
Play idea
Swap guides on a second print. Each household prints one more copy, and this time the grandparent describes the route while the grandchild draws. Afterward, compare who gave the clearer directions and award a silly prize over the screen.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Does the grandparent need to know how to solve mazes?
No, the grandchild leads; the grandparent only needs to follow the directions and ask when something is unclear.
Is the 12×9 maze clear enough to show on a camera?
Held close to the camera, the finished lines are easy to compare; for the solving itself, each person works on their own printed copy.
Will both printed copies be exactly the same?
Yes, every print of this set shows the same maze, so the two lines should match if the directions were followed.
