MazesLevel 2 · No. 4

Aims of this activity

• Following a path with the eyes and looking ahead (visual tracking and scanning)
• Drawing a line between the walls while watching it (eye-hand coordination)
• Deciding which way to go at each branch (planning)

Your child traces a path through the maze with their eyes and a pencil, from the start to the finish.The correct route winds through at least 70% of the maze, so it covers most of the page.The activity aims to build the ability to follow a path ahead with the eyes, and to draw a line carefully without touching the walls.At higher levels, there are more branches where your child needs to look ahead and choose a direction.

Tips

• One or two mazes at a time is plenty.
• Before starting, point to the red arrow (start) and the blue arrow (finish) together.
• Some children find it easier to trace the path with a finger first, then use a pencil.
• Write the time it took at the bottom of the page so you can compare next time.
