About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Mazes (level 2).

Logical reasoning, patience and step-by-step problem solving.

What’s included

  • 1 maze
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 4–9. That’s Pre-K – Grade 4 in the US, Reception – Year 5 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 4 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 4 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Hold back the answer and give a small hint instead (“Look at the top row”), so the “aha!” moment stays theirs.
  2. Mark each find with a highlighter or coloured pencil; seeing progress keeps children going.
  3. Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
