    How to use this worksheet

    • If grandparents live close, sit side by side; if they live far away, print the page in both homes and solve it together over a video call.
    • Grandparent and grandchild each take one of the two mazes, then swap sheets or hold them up to the camera to check each other's route.
    • Use a thick crayon or felt-tip, so the lines are easy to see on a screen as well as on paper.

    What this worksheet teaches

    Small mazes are quick, the rule is easy to explain, and a grandparent's patient attention gives a four- or five-year-old room to think. Checking each other's route adds a first taste of reviewing work, while the child practices spotting the open way and keeping a crayon between the walls. A shared task with a clear end also gives a short call something to be about, beyond the usual questions.

    Play idea

    Send maze post. After a video-call session, your child posts their solved sheet to the grandparent with a drawing on the back, and the grandparent sends one back with a short letter. A small exchange of post grows out of two tiny puzzles.

    Questions and answers

    Questions from parents

    Can we really do this over a video call?
    Yes, both homes print the same sheet, so each person sees the same two mazes and can describe their turns.
    What if Grandpa finds the maze far too easy?
    Give him a playful handicap, such as drawing with his other hand, while your child solves normally.
    What age is this page designed for?
    Ages 4 to 5; each small 8×6 maze has one correct path and no pictures.
