What this worksheet teaches
Each 48-cell board is quick to finish, which fits short party attention spans. Finding the way out in a busy, exciting setting practices focus, and drawing with a crayon between the walls builds pencil control. Solving alongside other children also encourages friendly comparison and taking turns to talk.
Play idea
Before the party, write each guest's name next to the exit of their first maze, so every child finds the way to their own name. The birthday child can hand out the sheets.
