Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Place copies in a labelled "I'm finished" tray with crayons nearby so pupils can help themselves.
- Teach the routine once: name on the page, find the entrance, draw to the exit, then move to the second maze.
- Collect finished sheets in a folder; a quick glance shows who stays inside the corridors and who needs support with pencil control.
What this worksheet teaches
Two 8×6 mazes are short enough to finish before the rest of the class catches up, yet they still practice planning a route, following corridors with the eyes and guiding a crayon. Working without adult help also builds independence and the habit of checking one's own work.
Play idea
Give each child a sticker for the exit of every maze; after five stickers they may choose a class job for the day.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Can a four-year-old manage this without help?
Most can after being shown once, because each small maze has short corridors and only one way to the exit.
Why use mazes as early-finisher work?
They need no written instructions, can be put down at any moment and keep children seated and calm while others finish.
Is the sheet suitable for photocopying?
Yes, the plain black lines copy cleanly, so a single print can be copied for the whole group.
