Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Sit side by side and decide on roles for the first 12×9 maze: one person navigates, the other draws.
- The navigator says where to go, and the drawer follows only those instructions.
- Swap roles for the second maze, so both of you practice explaining and listening.
What this worksheet teaches
Teamwork in a maze builds communication as much as problem solving. The child must describe a route clearly, listen to instructions and agree on what to do at a dead end. With 108 cells per grid, there are enough decisions to share, and the one correct path means you can both check the result together.
Play idea
Try a 'no pointing' round: the navigator may use only words such as 'turn right at the next gap'. It is harder than it sounds and often ends in laughter as you both learn to be precise.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a parent helping too much?
Not when roles are clear; the child still makes real decisions as navigator or as the one drawing.
Why two mazes for teamwork?
One maze per role gives each person a turn at navigating and at drawing.
What age is this sheet meant for?
Ages 6-8, with medium 12×9 grids that are challenging but finishable together in one sitting.
