Age: Grades 1–3 (ages 6–9) Duration: 15–20 minutes Format: Web game (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: Backtracking — when you hit a dead end, go back and try another way instead of giving up
Learning Objective
Kids find a path through a maze with several dead ends — practicing backtracking when a chosen route doesn't work out.
Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)
Solve a maze from an activity book together, and point out that hitting a dead end just means going back, not starting over.
