    How to use this worksheet

    • Print the page before you leave and fold it so one 12×9 maze faces up.
    • Give a pencil rather than a pen, because bumps in the road make erasable lines far less frustrating.
    • Save the second maze for the second half of the trip, for example after a service-station stop or a change of trains.

    What this worksheet teaches

    Each 12×9 grid has one correct route from the entrance to the exit, and the walls are plain black lines with no pictures to distract. To solve it, a child has to look ahead along a corridor, notice where it closes and turn back without scribbling through a wall. Doing this on a moving seat adds a real pencil-control task: short, deliberate strokes work better than one long sweep.

    Play idea

    Turn the journey into a game of stations: every time the train stops or you pass a town sign, the child may draw the next stretch of the path. Whoever reaches the exit before the destination chooses the window seat on the way home.

    Questions and answers

    Questions from parents

    Is a medium maze too hard to solve in a moving car?
    The 12×9 grid is sized for ages 6 to 8, so most children finish one maze in a few minutes, even with small bumps along the way.
    Why are there two mazes on one page?
    Two separate puzzles mean one printout covers a longer stretch of the trip, and each maze has its own entrance, exit and single correct path.
    What should my child lean on if there is no table?
    A clipboard or a hardback book on the lap gives a firm, steady surface.
