Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Prepare a spot far from the nap room with the maze page, a pencil and a cushion.
- Agree on a whisper rule before starting: questions are whispered or saved until the nap ends.
- Solve one maze, have a drink or a stretch, then return for the second one.
What this worksheet teaches
Medium grids are long enough to keep an older child absorbed while the house is quiet. Working alone with no help nearby builds independence, and the mazes practice planning, scanning corridors and careful pencil lines, all while the child learns to respect a family member's rest.
Play idea
Agree on a silent signal: when a maze is solved, your child tiptoes over and gives a thumbs-up instead of shouting 'done!'. If the nap ends in peace, they choose the next family game.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Will my 7-year-old stay busy for the whole nap?
Two 12×9 mazes usually take twenty minutes or more; combine them with a book or drawing for longer naps.
Why is this page good for quiet time?
It needs no instructions, no noise and no help, just a pencil, and each maze has one correct path your child can find alone.
What if my child gets stuck and needs me during the nap?
Suggest marking the tricky junction with a small dot and moving on to the second maze; you can look at it together once the little one wakes.
