Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Print one copy per player and agree on handicaps: adults draw with their non-writing hand, older siblings start ten seconds late.
- Everyone solves the first maze at the same time; the first correct line wins the round.
- Before the second maze, adjust the handicaps if one player won too easily.
What this worksheet teaches
Handicaps put a child aged 6 to 8 on equal terms with adults, which makes winning possible and losing easier to accept. The 12×9 mazes still require real planning and scanning, and watching grown-ups struggle with the wrong hand shows children that everyone finds some tasks hard.
Play idea
Hold a handicap draw. Write handicaps on folded slips, such as 'wrong hand', 'start ten seconds late' or 'eyes closed until the count of five', and let each player pull one before the second maze. The weekend champion is the player with the most rounds won across both mazes.
