Watch Your Step!

Set-up:

Create a grid on the floor of your classroom using tape. The game will be more difficult (and thus last longer) depending on the dimensions of the grid. The grid will serve as a maze that the students will have to walk through by choosing the correct path.

The teacher will draw a grid with the same dimensions in their journal that has the correct path marked.

Clearly label on of the squares as the start. On the opposite side of the grid designate a space as the finish (does not have to be labeled on the grid, only on the teacher's answer sheet).

Rules:

Students will form a line and enter the maze one at a time.

If a student makes an incorrect step they must return to the back of the line. As the students discover the correct path and advance further into the maze it will become necessary for the class to speak to one another and give directions to the maze-runner.
 * The teacher will be holding a sheet with the correct path and will tell the students if they are right or wrong after each step.

The activity ends when all of the students have successfully traversed the maze.

Example:
