How to use this worksheet
- The evening before, put the page in the front pocket of the school bag with a pencil, so it is ready without searching.
- Solve the first maze once dressed and fed, in the minutes before leaving home.
- Keep the second maze for waiting at the school gate or in the drop-off queue, or save it for the next morning.
What this worksheet teaches
A short, clear task in the morning helps children move from home mode to learning mode. Each medium maze asks them to scan, plan several turns ahead and draw neat lines, the same readiness teachers hope to see when the first lesson starts. Completing it also gives a small success before the day has properly begun.
Play idea
Name the entrance "home" and the exit "classroom door". On the way, your child calls out one thing they need for the day at each junction, such as a reading book, a water bottle or a PE kit.
