Grade 1 / Class 1 Mazes Worksheets (Ages 6–7)
Grade 1 / Class 1 mazes worksheets are practice sheets for children aged 6–7. Mazes are printed paths a child follows with a pencil from a start point to an end point, choosing the correct route among dead ends. The sheets on this page cover visual tracking along a path, planning a route before moving the pencil and pencil control around turns.
Grade 1, known as Class 1 in India and Year 2 in the UK, is where a child works through a full page independently: place value with tens and ones, addition and subtraction within 20, and short reading passages followed by comprehension questions replace picture-supported counting sheets. Six-year-olds are ready for dense mazes with long dead ends and for mazes that carry a learning rule. Skip-counting mazes are found by moving in 2s, 5s or 10s; phonics mazes pass only through words with a long a sound; addition mazes follow sums that equal 10. Solving from the finish back to the start, or in one attempt without lifting the pencil, raises the challenge without a new sheet. Persistence is now the main skill being built.

Ages 4-8 · Pre-K–Grade 2Ages 4-8 · Reception–Year 3Ages 4-8 · LKG–Class 2Ages 4-8
Children follow a repeating kite, flower, diya, rocket pattern square by square to find the only path through the maze, building logic and focus.
Maze Worksheet for Kids: Bee Maze and Tangled Lines
Ages 4-7 · Pre-K–Grade 1Ages 4-7 · Reception–Year 2Ages 4-7 · LKG–Class 1Ages 4-7
Children plan a route through a maze to take the bee home, then trace three tangled lines with their eyes and finger to match each child to a toy. Both tasks build focus, planning and visual tracking.
Calm Maze and Seek: Help Ava Find the Calm Corner
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children solve a maze for Ava, who has a big, grumpy feeling, and find a calm corner. They then search a picture and count teddies, cushions, books and glasses.
Penguin's Path: A Fun Sorting Worksheet for Kids!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This maze worksheet has 4-6 year olds trace a path through numbers 11 to 40, building both number sequencing across a wider range and the fine motor control needed to draw a connected line dot to dot. Because the range spans several decades, your child gets real practice with the trickiest part of early counting — the transitions between decades (19 to 20, 29 to 30) — while the penguin's journey gives the task a clear, motivating goal.
Number Path: Help the Boy Reach His House! (Numbers 41-50)
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This maze worksheet takes 4-6 year olds into two-digit number territory, asking them to recognize and sequence numbers 41 through 50 in order to trace a path — a step up in difficulty from single-digit counting since two-digit numbers are easy to reverse or confuse (41 versus 14). Tracing the connecting line also keeps pencil control and hand-eye coordination in play alongside the number work, and the payoff of guiding the boy home gives the counting task a clear, motivating goal.
Nina's Playground Maze: Numbers 81-100 Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This maze-style worksheet asks children ages 4-6 to trace a path by joining numbers in sequence from 81 to 100, combining number recognition and counting fluency with the fine motor demands of following a winding path. Because children must find the next correct number among several nearby options rather than simply reciting a memorized sequence, the activity sharpens visual scanning alongside numeracy. Successfully completing a 20-number sequence like this also builds stamina and confidence for handling longer counting ranges without losing track.
Skip Counting by 5: Maze Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Skip counting by fives is a stepping stone toward multiplication and telling time on a clock face, and this maze format turns that abstract number pattern into a concrete navigation task. Ages four to six benefit from the built-in feedback a maze provides: choosing the wrong number sends the path to a dead end, so children learn to self-correct their counting in real time.
Help the Mouse Escape! Numbers 81-90 Maze Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This maze worksheet asks children ages 4-6 to connect numbers in order from 81 to 90, giving practice with number sequencing in the higher tens range while adding a playful story element — helping a mouse escape from cats. Because the numbers must be found and connected in the correct order among a maze of paths, the activity combines number recognition with visual scanning and route planning. Working confidently within the 80s range also builds toward full fluency counting to 100, a key numeracy milestone at this age.
Navratri Diya Maze and Seek-and-Count Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children plan a path through a maze, count and sort mixed pictures by kind, and use their counts to decide if sentences are true or false.
Help Dad Reach Home! Missing Number Maze Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Filling in missing numbers along a maze path combines number sequencing from 1-20 with the planning skills needed to trace a route from start to finish, giving children ages 4-6 practice in both counting recall and spatial navigation.
Logic Clue Puzzles Worksheet: Find Me
Ages 4-7 · Pre-K–Grade 1Ages 4-7 · Reception–Year 2Ages 4-7 · LKG–Class 1Ages 4-7
This worksheet helps children practice logical reasoning by matching descriptions to images.

Shape Sudoku for Kids: 4x4 Shape Puzzles
Ages 4-7 · Pre-K–Grade 1Ages 4-7 · Reception–Year 2Ages 4-7 · LKG–Class 1Ages 4-7
This worksheet helps children develop logical reasoning skills by completing shape-based Sudoku puzzles.

Summer Sudoku Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This simplified Sudoku puzzle has children ages 4-6 fill empty boxes with summer pictures so each row, column, and small 2x2 square contains every image exactly once, introducing early logical reasoning through visual clues instead of numbers. Because the grid uses a smaller 2x2 structure rather than the larger 3x3 blocks used in classic Sudoku, it's an accessible entry point into the process of elimination that more advanced logic puzzles require. Completing it builds patience and systematic thinking, since guessing randomly rarely works.
Summer Sudoku: Complete the Summer-Themed Sudoku Puzzle!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This picture Sudoku puzzle introduces children ages 4-6 to logical reasoning by having them fill empty squares with summer images so that no picture repeats in any row, column, or smaller square. Solving it requires children to hold multiple pieces of information in mind at once, tracking what's already placed in a row and column before deciding what belongs in an empty square, which builds working memory alongside visual discrimination. This kind of structured logic puzzle is an early stepping stone toward the reasoning skills used in later math and problem-solving.
Wild Animals Sudoku Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Solving a picture sudoku with wild animals introduces children ages 4-6 to early logical reasoning, since each animal can only appear once in every row, column, and small grid, requiring careful process of elimination. This puzzle format builds problem-solving stamina and visual discrimination in a format that feels like play rather than a typical worksheet.
Fruit Sudoku Puzzle Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Completing a fruit-themed Sudoku grid builds early logical reasoning for children ages 4-6, requiring them to track which fruits are already placed in a row or column and deduce which one is missing — a foundational problem-solving skill.

How to use these worksheets at home or in class
About twenty minutes a day, split between one math page and one reading page on alternating days, matches what most first grade teachers assign as homework. Have your child read every instruction aloud before starting, since that doubles as reading practice.
Start with the sheet that matches what your child can already do, then move one step up. Keep finished sheets in a folder: Grade 1 / Class 1 teachers often ask for evidence of practice, and children like seeing their own progress.
Is your child ready for Grade 1 / Class 1 mazes work?
A child ready for this stage reads and writes numerals fluently to 20, blends simple words into sentences, follows a written instruction without help, and can explain out loud how they solved a problem rather than only stating the answer.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a six-year-old spend on one maze?
Five to ten minutes is a good limit. A maze that takes longer is probably too dense for the child's current planning, and the second half becomes trial and error rather than thinking. Use a plain maze as a warm-up before written work, and a number or word maze as review at the end. If the child rushes and cuts through walls, ask for the route with a finger first.
What should a Grade 1 / Class 1 child be able to do in mazes?
Six-year-olds are ready for dense mazes with long dead ends and for mazes that carry a learning rule. Skip-counting mazes are found by moving in 2s, 5s or 10s; phonics mazes pass only through words with a long a sound; addition mazes follow sums that equal 10. Solving from the finish back to the start, or in one attempt without lifting the pencil, raises the challenge without a new sheet. Persistence is now the main skill being built. A child ready for this stage reads and writes numerals fluently to 20, blends simple words into sentences, follows a written instruction without help, and can explain out loud how they solved a problem rather than only stating the answer.
Do these worksheets follow the Grade 1 / Class 1 curriculum?
The sheets cover visual tracking along a path, planning a route before moving the pencil, pencil control around turns and problem-solving through trial and error, which sit inside the Common Core Grade 1 (1.OA, 1.NBT, RF.1.3); NEP 2020 Foundational Stage Class 1; National Curriculum KS1 (Year 2) outcomes for Grade 1 / Class 1. Class 1 (India), Year 2 (UK) use the same skills at this age, so the sheets also fit families following those programmes.
Are these Grade 1 / Class 1 mazes worksheets free?
Yes. Each worksheet downloads free as a watermarked PDF once you create an account, with a limit of five a day. An annual membership ($20) removes the watermark and the limit for the whole library of over 1,000 worksheets and every printable pack.
