Kangaroo Maze

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is constructed as a maze in the shape of the letter “K,” where various letters of the alphabet are placed along the paths. Students are directed to find and follow the path marked by the letter “k” to assist a kangaroo in navigating its way out of the maze. The maze challenges students to discriminate between the letter “k” and other visually similar letters. It adds an element of fun to learning by incorporating an animal character into the activity, which might appeal to a child’s imagination.

The worksheet’s educational purpose is to teach students to recognize the letter “k” in both uppercase and lowercase forms by tracing a pathway through a maze. This activity enhances their ability to distinguish the letter “k” from others, which is a critical skill for reading. The maze format also helps to develop problem-solving skills as students must decide which path to take at various junctions. Moreover, the exercise supports the improvement of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they guide the kangaroo through the maze.
