Maze: small (ages 4-5)
How to use this worksheet
- Keep a pile of sheets and crayons on a side table for transition times.
- As one activity ends, children take a sheet and solve the first 8×6 maze while the room is reset.
- The second maze is saved for the next transition, so each sheet serves two changes during the day.
What this worksheet teaches
Transitions are easier when children know exactly what to do. A small maze gives a simple, familiar task that settles the group, strengthens fine motor control and practices planning at each fork. With 48 cells per maze, most children finish in a short time, which makes the sheet ideal for brief gaps in the schedule.
Play idea
Use a transition signal: when a bell rings, children put down crayons and the next lesson begins. Anyone who finished the maze earns a 'maze helper' job, such as handing out materials.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How long does one small maze take?
For most children aged 4-5 just a few minutes, which fits a typical transition.
Why use a maze between lessons?
It calms the group with a clear, quiet task while the teacher prepares the next activity.
What if a child cannot finish before the bell?
The sheet stays in their folder, and the child continues at the next transition.
