Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Add solve a maze as the last item on your child's morning checklist, after packing the school bag.
- Use the first maze on one morning and the second on the next, then print a new set.
- Keep the sheet in a fixed spot near the door with a pencil tied to a string.
What this worksheet teaches
Each 108-cell board needs a few minutes of planning and focus, the same attention a child needs at the start of lessons. A regular routine builds self-management: the child knows what comes next and does it without prompting. Tracing the route to the exit also warms up the writing hand before the first lesson.
Play idea
Hang a small calendar next to the maze spot and let your child tick each morning a maze was solved before leaving. A full week of ticks earns the right to choose the next set.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Won't this make us late in the morning?
Put it last on the checklist; if time is short, the maze simply waits until tomorrow.
Why a medium maze rather than a large one?
The 12×9 grid fits a busy morning, while large mazes suit weekends and longer sessions.
What if my child is not a morning person?
Start with just two mornings a week; many children come to enjoy the calm start.
