Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Choose where the explorer is lost in each maze, or invent new places, such as a pyramid or a sunken ship.
- Write the explorer's name above the first entrance, and list five supplies in the margin: rope, torch, map, apple and compass.
- Let each dead end become a one-sentence event in the tale before the explorer turns back.
What this worksheet teaches
Storytelling keeps a 6- to 8-year-old going along the longer routes of a medium grid, and each dead end becomes a reason to rethink rather than a failure. Narrating in order builds sequencing words and cause and effect, as in 'the explorer turned back because the ice was too thin'. The puzzle itself still trains visual scanning, route planning and a steady pencil line.
Play idea
Play the supplies game. Every dead end costs the explorer one item from the list in the margin, which your child crosses out and explains, like 'the rope was used to climb out of a pit'. Can the explorer reach the exit with at least one item left?
