The learning connection
This activity employs embodied cognition by allowing children to physically manipulate materials and visualize solutions. As they create and navigate their mazes, they engage in hands-on learning that solidifies their understanding through movement and creativity.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather 10 sheets of paper and scissors. 2. Cut the paper into strips to create walls. 3. Design a maze layout on a large sheet of paper using the strips. 4. Once the maze is ready, use a small toy or coin as the player. 5. Take turns with a family member guiding the toy through the maze without touching the walls. 6. Reflect: Which route was the easiest? Why?
