Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Clear the table of everything except the maze and one pencil, and turn off background noise if you can.
- Cover the second maze with a sheet of paper so only one task is visible at a time.
- If attention drifts, your child rests a finger on the end of the line, takes a breath and continues from there.
What this worksheet teaches
Each 108-cell board is long enough to require sustained focus but short enough to finish before attention runs out. A single route to the exit gives a clear goal, which helps easily distracted children stay on task. Following corridors with the eyes trains visual scanning, and returning to the line after a pause builds the habit of refocusing.
Play idea
Use a small sand timer or a visual countdown: can your child keep their eyes on the maze until the sand runs out? Celebrate with a short movement break before the second board.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Will a maze help my child with attention difficulties?
A maze is not a treatment, but short, structured tasks like this give children practice in staying focused.
Why cover the second maze?
Seeing one maze at a time reduces visual distraction and makes the goal clearer.
What if my child finishes only one of the two mazes?
That is fine; completing one 12×9 board with focus is a real success, and the other can wait.
