1 A4 page · for home and classroom use
Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Print one sheet for the visit; the grandchild takes the first maze and the grandparent the second.
- Solve at the same table and chat while you work, about routes and about anything else that comes up.
- At the end, swap sheets and let each person explain their route to the other.
What this worksheet teaches
Large mazes need patience and planning at any age, which puts a grandparent and grandchild on a similar footing. The child practices scanning for dead ends and keeping a steady line, and also explaining a strategy to an adult, good communication practice in a relaxed setting.
Play idea
Ask the grandparent to share a real story of getting lost once, then let the grandchild invent how a maze-solving trick could have helped find the way.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Are these mazes too hard for older adults?
No, the lines are clear black on white, although reading glasses can help with the narrower corridors of a two-maze page.
Why give each person their own maze?
Solving side by side feels like a shared hobby rather than a lesson, and neither person has to wait.
Can it be done over a video call?
Yes, if both households print the page: each solves the same maze and you compare routes on camera.
