How to use this worksheet
- Print one copy for each family member so everyone has the same two 12×9 mazes.
- Solve the first maze individually, then compare routes and see who drew the neatest line.
- For the second maze, form teams, such as one adult with one child, and share one sheet per team.
What this worksheet teaches
Family puzzles show children that problem solving is something adults enjoy too. Medium mazes with 108 cells need planning, spotting dead ends and a steady hand, while working in teams adds taking turns and explaining ideas. The single correct path means every team can check its answer without an answer key.
Play idea
Create a weekend leaderboard on paper, awarding points for finishing, for the neatest line and for the best route explanation. Keep the board for next weekend's sheet.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a medium maze too easy for adults?
Adults usually solve it faster, so give them a rule such as using the non-dominant hand to even things out.
Can younger siblings join?
They can pair with an adult, but the 12×9 grids are designed for ages 6-8.
Why two mazes for a family challenge?
One maze is solved individually and the second in teams, so the morning has two rounds.
