Six-Side Maze Journey

This one is a really nice shift back into curved movement, but with a bit more complexity layered in. The number 6 naturally creates a loop, which means students have to manage both circular motion and directional decision-making as they move through the maze. What I like here is that it exposes how well a student can maintain control through continuous motion without losing their place. I’d use this with Kindergarten students who are starting to build that steadier, more controlled hand.

Targeted Skills

• Continuous Curved Movement – Students maintain control through circular paths.
• Path Awareness – Helps students stay oriented within a looping structure.
• Motor Consistency – Encourages steady pressure and movement.
• Visual Tracking – Requires following the path without losing direction.

Instructional Support

• Great for Building Flow – Helps students move away from stop-and-start tracing.
• Reveals Control Gaps – You’ll quickly see where students lose precision.
• Supports Writing Readiness – Similar motion needed for letters like “o” and “a.”
• Strong Mid-Level Challenge – Not too easy, not overly complex.

This is one of those worksheets where you really start to see whether a student can sustain control over time. Some will move smoothly through the loop, while others might drift or lose the path midway. That’s valuable information. It tells you who’s ready for more independence and who still needs support with pacing and control.
