Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Place the sheets on desks before the bell, so pupils can start as soon as they sit down while the register is taken.
- Allow about five minutes for the first maze, then ask everyone to put pencils down together.
- Save the second maze on the page for the following morning, so one printout covers two starts.
What this worksheet teaches
Early in the day, many children need a gentle task that wakes up attention without demanding new learning. A medium maze does exactly that: it asks for visual scanning, a little planning and a steady hand, the same skills the first lesson will use. Because every child can start at once, it also calms the busy minutes of arrival.
Play idea
Take a brain temperature. After the maze, each pupil colors a small thermometer drawn in the margin to show how awake their brain feels, from sleepy at the bottom to ready at the top. Over a few mornings, pupils often notice that the warm-up pushes the color higher.
