Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Print one copy per person, including adults, and solve the first maze at the same time around the table.
- Compare finished lines: who had the fewest crossings through walls, and who found the route first?
- Keep the second maze for Sunday, and let the youngest player choose the rules this time.
What this worksheet teaches
Medium mazes of 108 cells are challenging enough for adults to take seriously but still fair for a child of 6 to 8. Solving alongside the family shows children that everyone uses strategies, like looking ahead and backing up. Friendly comparison teaches how to win and lose gracefully.
Play idea
Create a family scoreboard on the fridge for the whole month. Each weekend, a new medium maze set earns points for the finishing order and for neat lines, and the monthly winner chooses a family film or meal.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How do adults avoid winning every round?
Give them a handicap, such as solving with their other hand or starting thirty seconds later.
Should we do both mazes on the same day?
You can, but splitting them, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, keeps the weekend challenge going.
Will my child find one maze easier than the other?
Possibly, since the layouts differ, but both are medium 12×9 mazes of similar difficulty, each with a single path from the entrance to the exit.
