Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Sit side by side so both of you can see the whole maze, and let the grandchild hold the pencil.
- The grandparent asks about possible routes, while the child decides where to go next.
- After finishing, share a story about puzzles or games from the grandparent's own childhood.
What this worksheet teaches
A medium maze is simple to explain yet interesting enough for two generations, so conversation flows naturally around it. The child practices planning, scanning ahead and careful drawing, while the shared moment builds confidence and connection.
Play idea
Swap the pencil halfway: the grandchild draws the first part of the route, then hands over to the grandparent for the rest, giving instructions on which way to turn.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Does a grandparent need any special skills to help?
None at all; asking questions such as 'which way do you think?' is enough, since the child does the solving.
Is the 12×9 size comfortable for older eyes?
With a single maze on the page, the corridors usually have more room than on a two-maze sheet, which makes the route easier to follow for everyone.
Is there one solution to agree on?
Yes, the maze has one correct path from the entrance to the exit, so grandparent and child can check the result together.
