Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Print two copies so each child has the same two 12×9 mazes in front of them.
- Say 'go' together and let each racer solve the first maze, then the second, without touching the walls.
- Check both routes before naming a winner; a line that crosses a wall means a restart of that maze.
What this worksheet teaches
A 12×9 grid has 108 cells and enough forks to reward thinking before drawing. Racing adds healthy pressure: children must balance speed with accuracy, notice dead ends quickly and keep their pencil inside the corridors. Because both siblings face identical layouts, the race also becomes a lesson in fair play and in comparing strategies afterward.
Play idea
Run a best-of-two tournament: the first maze is a speed round, the second is a neatness round judged by a parent. Then ask the winner of round one to explain their route to the other sibling.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is the race fair if my children are different ages?
Give the younger child a thirty-second head start or let them solve with a finger first; the identical mazes keep everything else equal.
Do both mazes on the sheet have the same layout?
No, the sheet holds two separate medium mazes, but every printed copy of this set is identical, so both children get the same pair.
What age suits these medium mazes?
They are designed for ages 6-8, when children can plan a few moves ahead but still enjoy a quick win.
