Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Show the trophy idea before starting, so the finish line feels real.
- Solve the first maze, take a short break, then solve the second.
- Once both exits are reached, cut out and decorate a simple trophy from card and write the set number, 182469, on its base.
What this worksheet teaches
Two large mazes are a genuine effort, requiring sustained attention across two long routes with many branches. Linking that effort to a self-made trophy teaches children to value finishing a hard task. They also practice planning, noticing dead ends and fine motor control, followed by more hand work with scissors and glue.
Play idea
Make a trophy from folded card: a cup shape, two handles and a base. Your child writes "Maze Master" on it and displays it next to the solved page.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a trophy too babyish for a ten-year-old?
Let them design it however they like, as a medal, a badge or a certificate; the point is to celebrate finishing.
Should both mazes be done in one sitting?
Not necessarily; the trophy is earned when both are solved, even if that takes two days.
What makes these mazes a real challenge?
Each 16×12 grid has 192 squares and many false leads, the hardest level in this collection.
