Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Hand out the sheets as pupils come back into the classroom and let them start at once.
- Allow three to five minutes on one maze, then signal the start of the next lesson.
- Pupils keep the sheet in their tray and pick it up again at the next transition.
What this worksheet teaches
A focused, quiet task helps pupils settle body and mind between activities. Large mazes train sustained attention and planning, and because they can be paused and resumed, they fit the short gaps of a school day.
Play idea
Make it a class routine: at each transition, one pupil reports how far they have got through their maze. At the end of the week, the class counts how many pupils have reached both exits.
