About this worksheet
Eighteen dead ends on an 81-square route puts this among the most forked pages in the series. The picture carries its own urgency — the truck is needed somewhere — and that is worth leaning on with a child who tends to drift halfway down a long maze.
Firefighters practice until they can get dressed and onto the truck in about a minute, and they learn the roads so no time is lost. Here the truck is heading home to the station, a good excuse to talk about what firefighters do between calls: cleaning equipment, training and checking hydrants. The maze is heavily forked, so careful choices matter more than speed.
There is exactly one way through: no loops, and no square cut off from the rest.
How to use this sheet
With this many dead ends, marking tried branches helps: put a small red dot at the entrance of each one. Your child will find most of them before reaching the station, and that is fine. Draw the final route in red like the truck.
