1 A4 page · for home and classroom use
Maze: medium (ages 6-7)
How to use this worksheet
- Print one copy per family member so everyone has the same two mazes.
- Agree on the rules: pencils only, no help from neighbors, and a line that touches a wall costs a point.
- Solve the first maze together at the same time, then take a snack break before the second.
- Let the youngest player check everyone's routes as the official judge.
What this worksheet teaches
A family challenge on medium mazes shows children that adults also plan, make mistakes and try again. Kids practice route planning, careful scanning and pencil control, and the judging role adds checking and fair play.
Play idea
Give extra awards beyond the fastest time: the neatest line, the bravest restart and the funniest commentary. Everyone leaves the table with a title for the weekend.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Can adults and children compete fairly on the same maze?
Score neatness as well as speed; many children aged 6 to 8 draw more carefully than hurried adults on a 12×9 maze.
Why print one copy for each person?
Identical copies mean everyone faces the same two mazes, which makes the comparison fair.
How is a winner decided?
Only routes that reach the exit without crossing a wall count, and since each maze has one correct path, checking is simple.
