Robot Route

Worksheet Description

Students help a repair worker reach a broken robot by moving through a large word maze. The path may travel only through words that correctly use the -ed ending, while misspelled words must be avoided. Students compare many past-tense action words and follow the correct route from the starting point to the finish. The robot theme turns a long spelling review into an active problem-solving challenge.

This worksheet helps students learn that adding -ed does not work the same way for every root word. They practice noticing when a word simply adds the ending, drops a final e, doubles the last consonant, or changes y to i. Following the maze also encourages students to slow down and inspect every spelling before moving. These habits improve past-tense writing, proofreading, visual memory, and confidence using action words.
