Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Clear the table of everything except the page and one pencil, and turn off background screens.
- Cover the second maze with a sheet of paper so only one puzzle is in view at a time.
- After the first maze, allow a short movement break, ten jumps or a walk to the window, before uncovering the second.
What this worksheet teaches
Mazes suit children who find long tasks hard because progress is visible with every corridor. Each medium grid needs a few minutes of continuous attention, planning ahead and careful line control, and splitting the page into two short sessions matches how many easily distracted children focus best.
Play idea
Use a focus flag: a small paper flag that stands on the table while your child works. When attention wanders, point to the flag instead of repeating instructions.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Can mazes help a child with attention difficulties?
They are not a treatment, but short, structured puzzles give useful practice in sustaining focus, and many children enjoy them.
Why cover the second maze?
Seeing only one task at a time reduces visual clutter and makes the goal feel manageable.
What if my child gives up halfway?
Offer a finger trace of the next stretch, then hand the pencil back; finishing matters more than doing it alone.
